Hello do these to pull out or are they twist? Mine maybe just really tight? Thanks.

Pull. Hard. RTM too.

Small hands are an advantage as you need a good grip and then they'll pull straight out. I could get hold of them with the tips of my fingers on our CLS but they wouldn't budge, missus tried and they popped straight out with little effort.

 

[johny342]

Ok will have another go! Whats RTM Mean? wonder if a bit of lube would free them?

 

[BlackC55]

Don't use lube. They clip in. Read The Manual is what I ment. Sorry if I came across a bit blunt. It wasn't my intention.

 

[johny342]

No probs man just says about turning when you get it out! so there is a little clip on them?

Did them tonight and they look Mint went with the 5 SMD Canbus look a good match to the xenons

 

[IRISH E55]

Does the car have xenons?

 

[johny342]
