Azn optics lights replacement

Hello,

New here and a super noob at cars. Read some threads here about Philips diamond and Azn optics.

Got my Azn optics today but I don't know which light to replace. Can someone please help me, I am assuming its the little one closest to grill? If so... How do I remove it? Thanks!

2013 c250 sedan if that matters.

How did you order lights if you don't know what they replace? As for how to (and again, I have to ask how you went into this not knowing how and what to replace) open your hood, pop off the plastic above the headlights (optional for some ppl) look behind the headlights and you should see 2 small turn screw socket covers, twist and remove them, use a needle nose plier and pull the sockets out gently and replace the bulbs. Install is reverse procedure.

I read a thread about making the lights more white and a member said he purchased the philips diamond and azn lights which he provided links for. I purchased the two sets of lights and am trying to install the azn lights now. But I can't pull it out of its holder.

The member has not replied on the thread so I created a new thread hoping someone can help me remove the parking light. I popped the drunk, remove the little black cover, spotted the parking light, can't pull it out. Thanks.

This is simple if u know how it's installed. Drive to nearby shop maybe they can help u. can watch how they change and in future u will know how.

i did it myself but for the right side i took longer time due to my big hands.

The trunk? I thought you were trying to replace the lights in the front? Please clarify what parts you are trying to replace. Also, I have already provided you with instruction on how to replace the parking lights in FRONT.

for the parking lights in the front, unscrew the inner cap where the highbeams are and next to the high beam, you'll see a small yellow plastic with 2 wires running into it. these are not twistable. just grab the 2 wires as close to the base as possible and slightly pull it straight back. dont jerk it too hard or else the wires can pop out. then replace the bulb and CHECK THAT THEY WORK first before putting it back. and the hole is small too so becareful not to drop it anywhere in your engine bay. ive dont that and its a PITA to get out. and of course you dont want it getting stuck in the headlight housing either cuz thats an even more PITA.

and for future reference. make sure you know exactly what you want to do. 2012 models are different from '11 and down so some bulbs might not fit. if you dont know, ask here first, thats why this forum is running.

Its 2013. Please forgive me, I am not a car guy at all. I just want my lights a closer color to the bottom LED lights and that is it.

I found a video that showed a guy just tugging on the the wires but I feel like that might detach the wires from whatever its hooked up to.

don't be scared, just pull on it.. half the time people stop trying because they're afraid to break something.

GOT IT!

Used pliers for the left side...that was easy. Right side was hard to get the pliers in because of all stuff around it, after a few minutes I got so frustrated I just pulled on the wires and it came right off. Still feels like it isnt the best way though. I got my white lights now! Thanks guys!
