Quick help needed on refitting xenon bulbs please
« on: July 03, 2014, 01:04:19 pm »
Hi

So I'm taking the car to europe tomorrow and I'd read a guide that explained if you removed the xenon bulbs and flicked a little lever then it made the headlights safe for driving on the other side..

That was the easy bit!

Now I cant seem to get the bulb / balast assembly to fit back into the back of the light!?

Any help / links to guides / photos greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Nathan
