Persistence... it’s a bit of a pain to get it out, but you need to effectively lift the unit up as at the bottom the unit is fastened in with a bolt like thing that slots into a hole so lifting it up is the way to get it out and release that. One word of warning though, it is unnecessarily difficult to get it back in due to the said bolt thing as you will need to get it back in when fixing it back into place.

Guy Heaton Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Ive done it, to put night breakers in. You just have to wobble it out and in again. Going back it's front end in a bit before the back and you'll feel when it sits right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guy Heaton Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 You have to pull it past the resistance but it's hard cos it feels like you're going to break it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For an LED bulb, unfortunately it’s not possible - just not enough space. Passenger side, maybe but you’ll have to be skilful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure theres a way, theres got to be .............can anybody help!! its a pain to get out and even more of a pain to get back in as i have tried when fitting LED Bulbs. if your fitting LED ones its a headlight out job sadly not enough room for the fan/heatsink to get it in.

Guy Heaton Posted July 28, 2019 Share Posted July 28, 2019 Are you able to keep the cap on with LEDs? Otherwise you're going to get condensation, especially come winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snapper54 Posted July 29, 2019 Author Share Posted July 29, 2019 Well I eventually got the headlight unit, Mr Ford doesnt really intend you to be getting them out does he?!!!! Unfortunately I broke one of the plastic tag anchoring points, doh - what sort of material is it ? and whats best type of adhesive to use?
