Sidelight bulbs!?!?!

Post by Sharpy19 »

Right, im finding it borderline impossible to get at the sidelight bulbs, i need to change them to the led ones to go with the hids!

now my hands are rather small i would say and i cant get a grip of it! do you have to take the headlight out to get it?

No the sidelights, they are located next to the full beam bulb

Get a firm grip of the wires where they go into the sidelight bulb holder and give it a pull. Should pop out.

Nope, it just pulls out. Give it a bit of a wiggle and it should come out, can be a bit stiff. Wires are pretty sturdy as well, so don't worry about breaking anything.
