Help Removing Headlights

[RS-V AREO]

Just wanted to know if removing lights are as simple as it should be or if i have to remove the front bar in the process, and also i am changing from the aus lights to the xenon lights just want to know if it a simple cut and splice or far more complicated process.

Any help would be great

Thanks

no idea on the front bar/light removal. would be interested to know tho!

as for straight swap, do you have the ballasts for the xenon globes? should just have to plug the loom into those.

all the ballasts are still attached to the lights but i have standard h1 in the due to compliance so they have cut all the wires to make the h1 work

its easy to remove the lights, also easy to put in Xenon kit. if you want specific pics i can get them to you tomorrow.

but the basics are: Right side, remove battery so you can get to the bolts better, then you can see it is bolted on at the back by 2 bolts i think, one pretty low and the other one middle height, (both are nuts)

also your headlights are a 3 piece setup. your main headlight connects to a support connector which then connects to your high beams.

the support connector is connected on the top and side of your headlight and the back of the radiator support, undo just your headlight (top and side of your headlight)

then you can pull out your headlight and the wires. thats your right side done

now left light, same thing basically but to get it undone, you have to basically undo the 2 bolts on the top of your radiator bar holding in the black can, there is a headlight screw right behind it.

also there is another screw bottom right of the headlight aswell (if your standing in front of it). then just follow the other steps like the other headlight. remove air box if you want more space.

to put in the xenon kit, its pretty easy. but for that i gotta know if its the original xenon kit thats attatched to the lights or if its an after market one

cheers

Series 1 or 2?

I managed to get one head light out but really should have taken the front bar off (fair bit of bending of plastic stuff lol), it was such a mission I cracked the shits and gave up (after putting the headlight back in).

thats for s2, atleast mine is exactly like that. my headlight slides out perfectly

[bubba]

Hmm maybe it's because I was trying to get it out with the highbeam still attached. When I build up the motivation to try again, I will report back

[Bronx]

yeah, take high beams off. haha
