Had a few pm's about how to change this H3 bulb...so...

***these pics are for the driver/Right lamp
Pop the cap off to see the bulb harness. The locking pin is dark gray, stamped "H3".



Push the locking pin away from the vehicle/forward and lift up/back/right (if facing the vehicle). It's kind of like a "7" shape, so you need to move it accordingly. Take a look into the area, you'll see how it's locked into position. Now the base of the bulb is exposed. Rectangular shaped and chrome. An easy way to find it is to follow the white wire down. Unplug the upper part of the white wire (***not the end that attaches to the chrome rectangular part). This gives you some room to insert the needle nose pliers.


Take a pair of needle nose pliers and grab that chrome rectangular base of the bulb and pull the bulb out (takes a bit of a wiggle+pull, but mostly straight up)


Now replace the bulb and put the bulb back in, plug the white wire back into the socket, place the locking pin back into position...

 

Thanks! This is just what I was looking for

 

GL, sorry it took so long

 

GENEaTALS:

Thanks, I appreciate it.

 

BTW, how do you get it to turn on so you can take a picture?

 

ha, you'll need someone else to help you with that...

turn your light switch to the left (i think that's position 3) to activate your adaptive xenons. Then push and hold the blinker all the way up or down , turn your steering wheel to the corresponding side of the blinker....light will come on, snap the picture...

 

LOL, figures it would be difficult. Thanks again.

 

Hi,

I took my bulbs out and they both looked ok..?

should i still replace them both? they are £50 each!

could this issue be fuse related?

thanks
