Headlight disaster folks - I did a thing.

Looks like maybe those two black screws hold the HID casing in place which would give E/W what he needs.

weiboy718 · 10-11-2012, 08:58 PM

Or this?

dmhenderson · 10-11-2012, 08:59 PM

Yeah that's the thing he wants. His snapped in half.

dmhenderson · 10-11-2012, 08:59 PM

Sucks though because it means E/W is gonna have to crack his headlights again. Feelin' lucky?

weiboy718 · 10-11-2012, 09:00 PM

he can have it!

wait? what do you mean crack his headlights again?

dmhenderson · 10-11-2012, 09:01 PM

I think the troll is that we're going to convince him to crack his headlights open again and they're going to melt into goo.

If it's just to install that clip for the HID bulb he can get it in through the headlight bulb cover. He will need a small angle wrench with a phillips to loosen and tighten up

dmhenderson · 10-11-2012, 09:05 PM

Yeah that's precisely the part he needs. Oh right you can just go through the back of the housing to get at the bulbs. He should be good to go.

wait up, let me load up a video to remove and install that clip for ya'll

dmhenderson · 10-11-2012, 09:10 PM

I don't think he'll need it. We figured out the jenga puzzle/ballast last time around.

Are you talking about this clip or the whole projector housing?

I'd actually like to take the whole piece, it looks like the two screws hold it in place. I dont think the "U" hook metal piece is what I need, I need the actual piece that retains the "U" hook.

Alright, cool. If he do need the clip he really can have it.

Yeah, it looks pretty easy to swap out, without having to open the headlight, remember to get to this area, you take off the plastic cover in the back, turning it counter clockwise. Really simple.
