How to do it? Found this page: https://rennlist.com/forums/diy-964-1989-1994-911/197272-how-to-clean-your-headlights.html
But I am stuck at step one. I do not have a screw on the bottom of the metal ring -- it appears to just be a drain hole. I slid a small screwdriver in there to see if there was a small screw further in, but it doesn't seem so.
Am I missing something big?? Generally I'd just dive in and rip stuff apart, but with the 930 I like to be very meticulous and have directions/instructions.
Thanks,
Matt

Nevermind. The painted ring comes off and then the screw is under there. You have to gently pry off the painted ring... seems odd but that's what this diagram shows the proper installation is.

I think that screw is supposed to go through the optional trim ring first and then the main one. Otherwise wind and vibration would probably lead to it flying off.
The diagram is probably showing it that way because the outer trim ring is an option and not necessary for the installation.

Interesting enough, when I went to reinstall everything, that screw would NOT work if it went through the painted cover. It only went through the initial cover, and then the painted cover snaps neatly and securely over the top. Maybe I should track down a different screw that will go through both. The ones I have have a little ledge around the head of the screw that stops it from going through the painted ring.
Anyway, got new H4 bulbs in and they are nice and bright. Thanks for all the help.
