Anyone know how to remove the HID bulb?

[JungleG1337]

I looked in the manual and it said contact your dealership. I was able to remove the cover. I can feel that there is a retainer under the bulb but I tried to pressed it and remove the wire but I could not. Do I need to remove the whole headlight to do change the bulb?

Easiest way for me to get the HID bulb out was to remove the front tire such that the plastic wheel liner can be removed to gain access. Take off the dust cap (1/4 turn). The bulb is held in with a wire that needs to be pressed forward and spread apart (both sides). Be careful so the retaining clips do not break. Unplug the connector. The bulb should come out without too much trouble. Hope this helps.

I know right behind the plug there is a wire retainer. you said press in both side and push forward into the light or toward you?

You need to push the wires together first then push back (toward the front of the car) to remove from the retaining clips. Then separate the wires so the bulb can come out.

I try to disconnect the connector but no luck. I can't pull it down it is lock and the spring in the back is impossible to push in and forward. I have small hands n I can't do it.

It should pull right down and pop off. That gives you some extra room to get the clips off.

I broke the clip that hold the connector. After that everything is easy. That clip is the problem. I installed the new bulbs and it doesnt even work. OEM went back in.
