I searched.

Anyway, how do you guys get this HID tube out of this socket on the below pic:


I know which way to turn it, but it won't release no matter how hard I try. What tool do you use?

I really need to get these headlight units shipped today, so any help would be cool, thanks.

Is it rusted or something?
you could put it back into the headlight and then twist it off. you may need to push down on both sides mine was a very tight fit.

Thanks for the help, but I got it out. The reason it gave me trouble is because the plastic was a bit mutilated (from a mechanic I guess) and was stuck. But I realized what was up and forced it out without damaging the tube. Sorry man, I never ask without trying very hard first, but this was really stuck and mutilated.

Anyway, I just got home from Fed-Ex, and my headlights are on their way to AAC for halos (8000K). I've been waiting for this, and now it's finally underway. My first REAL mod. Pics are comin as soon as I get them back.

One thing I'm worried about is the HID tube MIGHT have been damaged. The brown rod on one HID is looser than the one on the other HID. It jingles and moves freely along the pin its mounted on whereas the other doesn't move at all. Could this mean it is broken?
