Xenon dipped - twist or pull?

[Bowser]

How the feck does the bulb come out? I removed the xenon pack.
Big hands and cold weather don't help on the verge of taking the bumper off now.

 

[Bowser]

Garlic muchning b******s. The single most annoying job I've done on this car

 

[JamesBryan]

Take the bumper off and the light unit out.

5 minute job with the way my bumper is, probably 30 mins if you have all the fixings in.

The actually electrical unit that rotates onto the bulb sometimes spins with the bulb itself. I had this pain. Was shite.
You have to rotate the bulb until it can then be pulled out of the electrical thing. (Don't know what it's called sorry)

Yes, bumper will come off tommoro.
I saw another thread on here where is was apparently doable in situ.
I found an Osram D2S for £28 - am i likely to get cheaper? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1x-OSRAM...=item2862522aa4:g:BbQAAOSwDNdV0wXI:rk:43:pf:0

172 & 182 bulb holders are different, one has a wire clip, the other a round plastic ring.

I can`t remember which is which, but the bulbs are the same D2S.

Does it matter in terms of what bulb to order?

That`s the round plastic ring type. Turn it anti clockwise to remove bulb.

The bulbs are the same D2S.

Yup, can't get my chip shovels in there though. So bumper will come off tomorrow.
Thanks.

Any thoughts on those Osrams in the link?

@imprezaworks ?

 

[Bowser]

Bah. i saw those, but assumed they were Chinese crap.

 

[Craig]

I would of done them cheaper mate. Plus I've got the osram xenarc nightbreakers if you need bulbs still.

 

[Bowser]

Thanks - i'll remember for next time.

In regards to changing these - for those who haven't done it before, it can be done with just removing one half of the bumper and pulling it down to access the light cluster.
