H1 bulb change

[angelameaney]

Hi this photo is the back of the full beam (H1 I am told) for an after market head light. I was able to remove the cable from the back but unlike the headlight bulb there is nothing to turn. Is there a clip or quick way to release the bulb? I can’t see this when I’m trying to feel around, I put my phone down to take the image.

Thank you.

There is a wire clip holding the bulb in. Try taking photos from a slight angle so you can see how it works.

Thanks. I wiggled around until it released. Changed the bulb now the clip has come off. DOH!!!

Unfortunately that is not uncommon. Putting the clip back in place is very difficult without removing the headlight unit.

Have a Search with ’front bumper removal’. I find it’s far quicker to remove the bumper and headlight to change a bulb.
