Removing Bulb

Hi, I tried searching but nothing came up.

I bought some Xenon bulbs (6000K) to replace the stock 4300K bulbs. I tried getting the bulb out but i do not see any clip to remove it. I did managed to unclip the power source at the bottom.

Does anyone know how to take out the actual bulb itself?? I do have the lighting package, and it is a 12' C63 coupe.

plz halp

Nevermind, I figured it out.

for anyone that needs help on this. Here is the guide.

1. unplug the power clip at the bottom.
2. Rotate the HID bulb itself counterclockwise to loosen.
3. Pull it out slowly and replace with the new bulb.


Also, I purchase from amazon these bulbs. So far so good: Car Rover D1S/D1C High Intensity Discharge (HID) Bulb, (Pack of 2)-6000K)

ok, i took out the bulb by turning it counter clock wise. then tried to put in a new bulb by turning it clock wise. but i now dont remember the correct amount of angle i have to turn. i turned it about 10 degree and it wont go any further. and the bulb is not sitting square to other parts og the headlight and the vertical side of square igniter is not quite at 90 degree from the ground. is this how it is supposed to be? can anyone post a picture showing how the bulb sits in the headlight?

Never mind. i figured it out. I just had to use more force to turn more. I pushed the wire connector which gave me more leverage.

You could have also referred to page 117-119 of your manual.
