Tato Posted September 6, 2011 Share Posted September 6, 2011 I got excited and mangled the metal strip of mine up, in the end i had to remove the boot handle to get them out as the metal strip got pushed away from the bulb unit instead of towards it, bought a replacment set off e-Bay.:) Good that you managed to find a replacement Lenny :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I took it out the proper way to make sure it was still ok, and it was perfect. Must've just been lucky in my stupidness Danny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must've just been lucky in my stupidness Danny the metal parts on my old ones have more bends in them than ..... ill finish that sentence later, i still have them though so might try straightening them but their all kinked which has shortend the length of the plate.

calummac21 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I FINALLY MANAGED IT! the days spent trying to seperate the metal clip from the black resulted in the drivers side almost 90' up from where it should have been so that was a pain but nothing a screw driver and brute force couldnt get out! the passenger side got done properly as i could see the metal clip so with the use of an allan key it just popped out :) also fitted black edge headlights to my black zetec s, bit unsure atm but im sure they'll grow on me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
