Broken screw for cab light
 

Hi guys

I was putting new cab lights on my 1979 gmc dually and one of the screws broke and I can’t get it out. I have tried to drill it out but no luck drilling through the screw. What should I do now? I mounted the lights but it won’t be good with one screw missing.
Any ideas?

Thanks
Eric

Try a spring loaded punch.
To center punch a hole in the exact center of the screw.

Then use a left handed drill to try to reverse the screw out.

Hopefully the left handed drill will grab the screw and pull it out for you.
