I just need to change my drivers side low beam but it looks really complicated and I'm not sure what to do, is there a diy for this?

Three phillips screws for frame and four torx screws for headlamp. The one in the center top and right center are adjusters don't remove them.
You may have to adjust the beam a little that's done with the screw in center
for vertical and the one to the right for horizontal. I just pull my car
up near the garage door and turn on the lights and try to match the beam on
the garage door in vertical and horizontal to the beam on the other side. I must have a short in my drivers side wires because I've had to replace it every fall for the last four years.

I have always had trouble with my headlight- I have to replace it a couple of times a year.
Maybe some of you have had this issue:
After changing my headlight, I could not get the headlamp trim piece to go back in on one side. We tried adjusting my headlight to get it to fit, but no luck. My mechanic didn't have any luck, either.
Also, where can I find the right torx screw replacement? One of mine is stripped.
Thanks
