Alright, so it's a very stupid question but I tried it this weekend and failed.

I got my headlight out, but didn't understand some of the steps in the manual

1) What's the "7.2. Remove the black retainer by turning it counterclockwise." I didn't get it and that's where I failed... There's a big black thing indeed, but it sure didn't want to turn any way...

2) for the sidemakrer I had no trouble taking it off the housing but they say you need a tool to help you turn the bulb socket, what kind of tool and how do you do that? I was affraid to break the bulb and couldn't take it off to change it..


thanks

and I know I suck at manual work

 

Assuming you guys have the same headlights as us, I am pretty sure you do, yes you just turn that black retainer counterclockwise once you have the headlights out. Mine was pretty snug but it will turn off. It doesn't turn much, maybe 1/4-1/2 of a turn maybe. Once that is off the bulb just pulls out, no twisting required. Put back with new bulbs (I got silverstar ultras, very nice) in reverse order. Done.

 

the black retainer being the big thing which had a wire plugged in before we take it off?

the whole thing turns? I tried but it didn't move

 

Dude, mine was ******' hard to get out! The black retainer ring, yes just turn it about 1/4 turn or more and then pull out!

 

and how did you get out the sidemarker's bulb? what tool did you use?

 

the side marker bulb it's self just pulls out

 

needle nose pliers

 

hmm kay, guess I'll have to try it out again with more brute force, I was affraid to break something..

 

you have to turn counter clockwise and then pull it out. Look at the white plasitc, it has an arrow for which way to lock.
