Does any know where I can get a DIY for replacing the HID bulbs? And what tools you need and if there is anything I need to look out for when swapping them out.

THX

 

You'll need a special allen key to take screw #3 out. Personally, I was able to get by it with a set of heavy-duty needle nose pliers (pain in the ass...but dooable).

Once you take that out and unscrew the cover off (#10)...you'll be able to see the igniter (#2)

Twist the igniter a quarter-turn and it'll expose the bulb held on by a metal clip that the picture doesn't show. Unclip, replace and rewind and you'll be set.

 

Thx, is the clip hard to take off and put back on? And before I put in the new bulb, should I wipe it with some rubbing alcohol or something to get off any prints or etc..?

 

Also, does anyone know what the special allen key is, and where i can get one?

 

Sounds like you've exchanged bulbs before. If you want to clean the bulbs go ahead. As far as the allen wrench is concerned...I suggest taking a look at it first before you go buying anything. With a small enough flathead screw driver, I'm pretty sure you can twist it off.

 

Yah, but I don't wanna screw up these bulbs, they cost too much, lol

Alrights, thx

 

u need a special torx head screwdriver with a hole in the middle. i got mine at a local hardware shop for 2 bucks. i just took the whole headlight to him and he found a match. the clip is easy to take out and a semi bitch to put bak in BUT its doable

 

you can change the bulbs without taking out the whole headlight unit though right?

 

Yup...but like I said....go outside and take a look first. It'll make sense to you if you just saw it in person.

 

I believe you need a secure torx 20 (or was it 12?) screw driver. Make sure you get secure torx, because the regular torx won't work. When I changed mine, I just used a small flat headscrew driver. It worked out just fine.

I also disconnected the ballast also since it run such high voltage.......atleast disconnect your battery. Better safe then dead.

 

HAHA, alrights thx guys
