What screw are you even talking about?? I've changed my bulbs several times on my 03 DX and never had any issues...

Look at the bracket. There is a screw that holds in it place, it pivots off from it. That popped out.

My headlights have a clip that holds them into place, but the P5 lights are a lil bit different.
