Default How do you remove the actual bulb?

Hey I got the headlight assembly out, but the bulb is still in there, and it seems really hard to get it out and I don't want to turn it the wrong way or pull it and break it.

Any help please. Thanks.

-Ryan

there is a little plastic "nut" on the back, if I recall. it doesn't unscrew, but you twist it and it pops off (like a pill bottle cap), and the light comes out.

lemme put it this way: you can figure it out, just take your time. I figured it out, and I'm a mental gidget.

hrmms. I've removed my bulbs on multiple occasions.. all i do is twist it left, pull it out, pop the black plastic tab on the power source to the bulb, and thats it.

Got it!
I was trying to pull the old bulb out before unscrewing the black **** all the way and then pulling it out, but I figured that bitch out.

Anyway the 8000k lights look sick, and they work.
Here are the pics I took, I might as well throw them up for ***** and giggles and future help. [8D]
