Post by: _Adam_ on 07 February 2009, 17:49

not trying to sound like a total noob here, especially since i jus fitted HID's to my car, but the 1 thing that stumped me is how the @*$%  do i take the side lights out??? :angry:

If you do a search, you'll find 3-4 topics on the same thing.

Basically it's just a b**ch and prepare for scraped knuckles, blood and raw fingers.

Take a firm grip, pull hard and don't stop till it comes

Invest in either surgical pliers or snipe nose pliers :wink:

Unless you have a hand like Jeremy Beadle you will find it a painful experience!!

Used pliers to get mine out. There was blood everywhere until I got the pliers out :D

I love the way the manual says so simply "just grab and pull" or something along those lines :rolleyes:

Get a small child to do it for you (after they've swept the chimney, of course)
