H7 Headlamp - changing H7 bulb

[T6 Syd]

Hi, apologies for another thread on H7 dipped headlight bulb replacement, but I'm having a bit of a numpty moment. I can get the electrical connector off but how do I then get the bulb out?

Do I have to remove or unclip anything else or is it just a case of twisting the bulb to remove it?




The above photograph is 'borrowed' from another thread - I'm trying to do this in the van.

Help appreciated thanks.

The bulb is held in place by the little tabs at 3 & 9 o Clock on that photo. There should be just enough slack to slide it horizontally to the left enough to be able to pop the bulb out from behind the 3 o Clock tab, then with a little wiggle it will pull out. Fitting the new bulb is a case of orientating the bulb correctly using the tab on the bulb at the 12 o Clock position, then giving in a firm push until it's sprung past the 3 & 9 o Clock tabs.

Brilliant, thanks. Going dark and raining now, so will try again tomorrow Happy New Year!

All done thanks, not quite as bad as I expected it to be in the end
