When you guys switch the headlight bulbs, and remove the black rubber stopper...do you have to completely pull off the stopper. By this, I mean the center part of the stopper that is tightly wrapped around the base of the lighting fixture. I cannot seem to get the bulb fixture removed with this in place...am I just not trying hard enough or am I missing the point of just about 50 different sets of instructions on this forum...

Thanks.

 

I had to use some needle nose pliers to get a grip on the rubber thing to pull it out. Once you've got a good grip the whole gasket comes out... its roughly a little larger in diameter than a silver dollar.

 

Here's what I remember...

1. Remove the harness from the back of the fixture.

2. Pull the entire gasket off, the large black thing. This take a little bit of work to get the gasket off. Just keep pulling at it and it will come off.

3. There is some sort of clip holding in the bulb. Undo the clip and the bulb should come out.

4. Remove the buld and replace with the new bulb.

5. Slide the gasket back on and make sure it is reseated correctly.

6. Plug the harness back in and you should be ready to rock!!

 

How hard was it to put the thing back on? Just use the the pliers again?

 

Actually it didn't really take pliers to put it back on.. it just kind of slid into place... however there is some nasty electrical grease on the harness so don't do this while wearing your finest suit.
