INNER BULB HEADLIGHT REPLACEMENT

Hey Guys,

Im trying to replace the most inner bulb from orange to white and wasnt sure on how to get to it. It is located underneath the high beam i believe. I have included a picture with a star around the bulb im trying to get to, anyone know of a write up or a video explaining how to replace?

remove the highbeam bulb, yes the one above the one you're trying to replace. stick a finger inside of the high beam hole and push the small bulb you're trying to replace out.

You can actually get to it without removing the high beam bulb. As much of a pain in the butt it is to change those little bulbs, they are easier than changing the high/low beam bulbs.

Hi,

I did this mod last Year as well.
You have to buy a set of "w5w error free LEDs",
then you'll have no issues on your Instrument Cluster.

Regards,
Frenchy.

I tried taking mine out also but the bulb kept on spinning and never popped out.....


Frenchy, there is a place near my house sells HID ballast for $65 Canbus with 2 year warranty.
