oh. ok mate thanks!

 

[keeno86]

anyone got any idea how im meant to change the bulbs myself, just put the car up on ramps and i cant really see how it unclips at all! ideas?!

The whole units unscrews from the front on the ph1 via the two torque screws and you change it then

*edit but your driving a ph2, so thats of no use

ph2 mate is quite easy;

the h11s are "L" shaped with the bottom of the "L" being the part that connects to the wiring and the top is the actual bulb, pointing forwards into the casing and lamp glass.

get underneath the car and disconnect the bulb from the wiring, which is a clip in place connection and so you just need to play around and see how it disconnects (see where the clip actually is)

then you need to take the bottom of the bulb between your thumb and finger and twist it clockwise. it will then come out.

here is a pic of the bulb so you can understand my phrases more lol;

the picture on the left shows a bump at the bottom, this is where the clip secures to

the picture on the right shows the silver metal parts that allow for the bulb to be secured, ie pushed into the holder and then twisted to secure.

the orange is rubber, allowing for a water tight seal.
