Headlight bulb replacement

Post by Goman »

No manual. How do I replace the LO Beam bulb? Does the nacell have to come off or can It be done from the rear? TIA :oops:

Never mind.I figured it out. FYI..... unplug the connector in back. Twist off the plastic housing if you can and the bulb is accesable. I took off the nacelle and eyebrow, removed two large screws, holding the headlights in place and could then easly get the plastic housing off. It's tough to do from the rear! Unless your Greek!

I have one in the high beam side. A super white Halogen. It costs 21 dollars US, so I replaced the low beam side with a conventional because it is on all the time. The Halogen lasts only 1/3 as long also. With the high beam at night, I see just great................ :biggrin:
