    I am trying to replace my headight globe but I cannot get the globe out. Ive done a seach but cannot find what I need to know. Firstly I cannot get the plug disconnected to remove the ring and the rubber sleeve. So I keep going and now I cannot even get the clip undone to remove the bulb. Can anybody help me out with some instructions (not abuse Mr C.)

    I pit H.I.Ds in the other week and i found i had to sqeeze the connector to get it to release . A litle bick tricky but can't say it was that hard. The clip will be a breeze once the connector is out of the way just look at it to see which way to move it. use a good torch.

    I figured out why I cannot get the metal clip undone. Its broken. So now I think my only option is to remove the engine to change the globe. I'm a bit over it now. any one want to by my car???????

    Giving up is too easy man Its a z its par for the course. Try long nose plyers and a torch you dont say which side but remove some plumbing. Worse case you can remove headlight and have all the room u need - plenty of information on this and I am told it takes about an hour per light. If its low beam take the oppotunity ti fit HID it worth it having just done it myself

    Stick your phone in there, take a picture, and then work out what your fingers need to do to get the wire clip undone. It shouldn't be this hard.

    BigCol That's what she said...

    As a first timer it took me a lot longer than an hour per light. Especially if you have a pod filter. Stock filter takes significantly longer due to the number of bolts that have likely "rust-welded" themselves together....know this from first hand experience!
