[evansv35]

Replace RHS HID bulb

Tools required: 1 small flat-head, 1 stubby Phillips head, 2 D2R bulbs 6000k, 1 car jack, Good Handcleaner

Step 1: Turn wheel to the left

Step 2: Jack up car, no need to remove wheel, this is optional depending how flexible you are.

Step 3: take 2 screws and 2 plugs off with philips and flat head screwdriver.

Step 4: Fold back wheel arch after removal of plugs, apply force to do this, and you may be able to wedge on top of tyre.

Step 5: Remove cap, turn anticlockwise and remove.

Step 6: unplug adaptor attached to globe by turning to left and gently pull straight off, there is about 5mm left to right play, do this and pull off. There is some length in cable to pull out carefully and let it hang down so it is out of your way

Step 7: Squeeze spring clip holding bulb, notice the LHS of spring clip is holding it in place. Lift spring up high, remove bulb, when replacing with new ensure spring clip is held up high.

Remove and replace, take note of the globe coming out and install new one, DO NOT TOUCH BULB, AS THIS MAY DAMAGE AND REDUCE LIFE FROM OILY HANDS.

Ensure when re-installing new bulb that spring clip is securely in place. Push back adaptor in rear of bulb, replace cap, screw back in wheel arch ensuring the screw clips are as per photo lower car and your done.

If your planning to replace 1 globe I would recommend doing both as it wont be long before the other goes, get 1 pair of Philips 6000k of ebay for $69.99 delivered express from http://stores.ebay.com.au/eurodivision also since everything is off you may as well replace your Parker globes with T10 for $2, worth it to save doing this all again.

Parker globes removal: Turn anticlockwise to remove this plug, this can be a little fiddly to align holder back in place. take care as your globe may fall off holder into headlight assembly. (it did to me)

Good Luck
