Angel eye install is getting frustrating...

OK, so now this is the 2nd time I've gone to try to install the GP Thunder bulbs in my 2007 E90 and I cannot get those torx screws off. I got the wrenches and it just not seem to fit or turn. Any ideas on things I can do to get these things off?
Thanks.

torx screws?
Unless the e92 headlight system is different to the e90 there are no screws?

The box has two torx screws I thought? Or do I use the flathead to get that off? According to the DIY I need the torx wrench: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showth...ght=angel+eyes

LOL just read and now I get it. I have to take the cover off and then use the torx wrench for the bulbs themselves. OMG, I have wasted soooooo many hours over this. :/

Just had a look at the tutorial and its different to the e92's

On the e92 you can do it with the hood open, Dont need to take off any wheel panels etc

namotosrport had a good tutorial to show how u get the cover off.. u just wedge a falthead screwdriver right over the box and turn, and that makes the box unclip itself.
