99 Tl Headlamp Bulb ?

Hey guys,I was wondering if someone could help me out with the l/s hid bulb,how do you get this sucker out.I have the special torx bit and have the harness unpluged,but i cant seem to figure out what do do next.Do you have to pop off the back cover? or does the whole assy have to come out. Any response would be greatly appreciated...thanks.

You have all the right tools, the back round cover needs to come off... it's a slight push donw and turn, until you feel it unlock.... thats where you will gain access to the bulb... under that cap you will also find your ignitor (information purposes only).

Just push down and twist the black bulb connector, and the bulb will come right out, after you release it from the little clamps that holds it in place... be careful not to hit the bulb filament against anything while pulling it out, if you plan to re insert that bulb again.

If you are changing to new bulbs, just don't touch the fillament with your hands, oils and dirt can reduce the life of the bulb. Hope that helps!
