Need help with my Bi-xenons

I just got in my 2003 C240 with bi-xenons. They look great. The problem is im trying to change the wedge bulb with a PIAA wedge bulb. I can get my hands on the bulb but cant figure out how to get it out without yanking it out. Can someone please tell me how.
Thanks alot.

Yeah all you have to do is to yank the stock wedge bulb out, don't need a lotta force to do it

Smile just pull it out

Just changed my orig Xenons with biXenons. Did the same thing you are trying to do. Just pull it out. BTW, when I do high/low there is a noticeable clacking sound. Do you have the same?

correct on all counts but mine are perfect now - I'm assuming the seller Steve....has resolved these problems - I had to disassemble one of mine completely to correct the problem with the adjuster. I wish I had done this from the beginning - I think its pretty much mandatory to take it apart to fix the loose adjusters.

i don't have xenons or bi-xenons, but the way i remove the wedge bulbs are fairly simple. i unplug the wiring harness from the high beam and shift it out of the way. then i use small needle nose pliers and firmly grip the small groove thats rectangular in shape. the with little effort i just pull it out. hope that helps.
