so i got everything down, i took the cap off the one you twist from the back of the headlight.. now i see a plastic thing (seems like an adapter) i cant seem to pull it out... or are u suppose to twist it...? im confused.

edit: this is regarding the H4s

 

just pull it toward you straight back. should be 3 prongs

 

If anything undo the bulb with the 2 silver hold downs then pull the bulb off the harness when you have it out

 

Pull and wiggle. Sometimes it sticks a little. But it will just pull out.
-GP-

 

This is correct. You have to undo the silver wire clips that hold the bulb in the socket before it will come out.

 

silver wire clips? which are these? i got as far as twisting the cap off but i didnt see a silver wire clip.. maybe i missed something?

 

I don't have a picture which would be the easiest way to show you. There is a silver wire clip that has 2 ends you have to squeeze to release then rotate up to be able to remove the bulb. It's a pain in the butt if you are going through through the fender well to reach them but they are there.

Keep looking.

 

i willm have to pay close attention to it when im doing it this weekend. would it be close to the metal connectors attached to the bulb?

 

The silver wire clips hold the bulb in place and it should be on right above the harness. You should still be able to see or feel the clips. You really can't miss it unless they are not there and the bulb was glue on.

 

you won't be able to see them from your view. chances are you got your arm stuck behind the fender and you're grabbing "blindly" but if you feel the back fo the bulb, that plastic cube shaped thing, move your fingers up and you'll feel 2 metal clips, one on each side. squeeze them in and pull it out. it's essentially a retaining cilp that keeps the bulb locked in place. if you can manage to see inside, you'll se a metal screw on the base of the bulb. that screw is what's holding that metal retainer so feel your way up... (but do not UNSCREW that screw else the whole assembly will fall forward into your headlight lol)

 

those metal clips must be pushed in towards the bulb slightly then squeezed .. to go under a tiny hook and around it ..

il take pics of it..

whene the ballast i need comes in ...

 

take yuor wheel off as well as wheel well covering to get better sight of the clip you need to remove. the metal material the clip is made of is as thick as a paper clip and looks like it surronds the bulb.

 

i know for sure i got a view of the screw holding down something, i didnt proceed to unscrewing it because i was unsure what to do next and didnt want to mess something up, im glad i didnt. i will thoroughly inspect it and try and feel the clips. will the clips be on the sides or the upper part?
thanks

 

thanks all for your help! i just finished changing my lights, its a lot easier than i thought. i did find the clips which were there just never expected them on the sides.
but thanks again for your help.

 

NP that's what we're here for.

I remember when I bought my car. It was just like yours and less than a year later, well just look at my sig. I keep telling myself I'm done modding. Best joke of the year!!!

LS kicks ***!
