hey guys & merry christmas!

so, i bought a set of silvania silverstars for myself as a xmas present and i just installed them five minutes ago. everything works fine, but i had a bit of a problem. when trying to remove the stock bulb on the passenger side, the little plastic tab thing broke off. the tab is on the grey, plastic housing piece that the bulb itself goes into; it's the part that the wires are plugged into. it's very small and basically just helps to keep the bulb in place - the bulb kinda snaps into place thanks to it. hopefully those of you who have changed out your bulbs know what i'm talking about?? anyway, the silverstar still fit pretty snug, but now i'm worried that vibration will eventually knock it loose. any advice? is this a part i can order and replace myself? do i have to go to a stealership for the first time to fix my mistake?

 

yea, def did the same thing by accident on my driverside one, i just left it and said "what the hell" and left it alone, 3months and no problems so yea

 

heh, i'm glad i'm not the only one you'd think the friggin' manual would mention something about depressing the tab before removing the bulb; all it says is to remove by turning counter-clockwise good advice. anyway, i'm glad to hear that you haven't had any problems. my fingers are crossed.
