Taking a 6C headlight apart.

Post by Kieranrussell7 »

Hey Guys.

I did a stupid today and managed to break one of the little clips that hold the sidelight bulb in place in my passenger side headlight. I cant seem to find anywhere that sells just that bulb holder so I have bought a whole second hand headlight (with broken mount points so was quite cheap).

My question is, is it possible to unbolt some things and just switch the little part over, or my first thought was to cut the wires and just solder the new bulb holder on, I cant see any issue with the Soldering but I wanted to make sure!


Thanks in advance
Kieran

Soldering should be fine, just make sure you do it properly. Taking the headlight apart will probably involve removing the clear lens at the front and disassembling it from there. I'm not sure it's the easiest nor the most practical way to do this....
