MK2 172 HEADLAMP

[Turkish]

anyone taken one out ? dont ask why but i need to take mine out and other than the bolt at the top is there anything else i need to undo/remove to get the fecker out?

 

[paddymph]

are they not gas filled? i thoiught about trying to clean the inside on mine.....then changed my mind, i know they cost over £200 EACH!

 

[Turkish]

nah they arent even sealed, just need to remove the whole headlamp from the car as i had what you might call a mishap, not broken or anything just need to take it out

....come on then, spill the beans ......elaberate on this "mishap" ..... were all in suspenders now!

 

[Turkish]

went to fit my piaa led side light bulbs as the standard ones look sh*te and yellow next to the xenons and the slippery little fecker slipped out of my hand into the headlamp and i cant get it out on the car so i need to take the lamp out oops, or to quote homer DOH !!!!!!!!!!

 

[Flying Scotsman]

Sh*t luck. Cant you try and seal a smaller diameter tube onto a vacuum cleaner hose and suck the wee begger out through the main bulb hole or sumit?

 

[Turkish]

cant even see it, poked around loads so i think best couse of action is take the lamp out and if i still cant see it turn the b*stard upside down and shake it

Ball***ks, not the cheapest thing to lose. Does the other side work, what do the PIAA LED sidelights look like next to xenons?

 

[Turkish]

look smart but had to take the one out on the other side and put the regular ones back in til i get the little fecker back out
