Trying to change my parking lights
And I am lost as to how I go about getting to them. I have a 00 Ranger and I know it has something to do with the plastic tips on the headlight but they're held into place by some metal piece that's stopping me from unscrewing, popping, etc them off. Help?

I know where it went!!! Hopefully you haven't gone anywhere yet!!!
Stick your head between the tire and front of the wheel-well on the side you lost the screw. You'll see a ridge at the middle point of the front bumper, where it changes to the plastic part. There is a support brace that bolts to this ridge. Feel along the ridge particularly behind the support brace and you'll most definantly find that screw! I've dropped it there thousands of times, and have gotten to the point I can get it without looking because it's such a common spot for the screw to disspear to!

Honestly...go take a look. You'll see the ridge I'm talking about and understand. Your truck would have to go through a blender and get shaken upside down for it to be visible or fall out of this dang spot!!!
I bet you $1 it's there!
