owners manual. I don't think you have to remove the airbox. just twist the collar around the bulb housing and it should come out.

I no longer have the box due to an intake mod. But looking at this video at 1:08 I see there should be plenty of room to get to the low beam (outer) even with the box there. Even on the high beam, all you need to do really is get some fingers on the tabs of the twist ring, then again, using fingers, maneuver the bulb socket out.
![]() EDIT: Or maybe get a screwdriver on the tab to rotate it, but be careful not to break it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&v=...ture=endscreen

No one has asked if the OP has halogen or xenon headlights. The steps are different for each.
I replaced my xenon bulbs myself... using a video from YouTube to guide me... best place for self help on that kind of stuff Last edited by E46_Ci; Today at 08:29 AM. |
