i tried bending that wire any which way and i still cant get it out. is there any trick?

 

I'd like to know too.

I fiddled with that thing for the longest time before I gave up and took it to the dealer lmao.gif

 

ya idk the wire stuck or something i just loosened the screws and did it that way. problem solved. mod can close this

 

You don't need to unscrew anything. There is a little notch in the metal at one side of the wire. You just have to press the wire down at that side and at the same time move it out of the notch to release it. To install you just push it down and slide it over to lock it back into the notch.

 

^ Yeah, just disconnect the wires (there are two wires) leading to the bulb by gently pulling on the base of each wire where it meets the bulb.

Next you need to push down on both of the rounded ends of the metal clip (index finger on one & thumb on the other) & push the ends outwards, then lift the clip up & away from the bulb... The clip is sort of hinged on one side.

The bulb should just come straight out... No need to twist it or anything.

When re-fitting the new bulb, it can only properly go in one way so note the position of the indent in the side of it before pushing it in.

Then put the clip back on the same way you took it off & reconnect the wires to the bulb (you may find it easier to reconnect the wires before putting the clip back in place).

 

dont push on the very tip of that bend shaped like a u. push down more on hte middle part. just look at it a while and you will figure it out.

 

it helps if you think of this "wire" more like a clip....
