1300 headlight
« on: January 28, 2019, 02:15:24 PM »
Hi all looking for a bit of advice.
I have a blown left low beam but I can’t seem to get the plug off the back of the globe.
Does it just pull off ?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers Rob

Rob,  you need the squeeze the sides of the electrical connection, to unlock it.  It's fiddly, and the first time you change a globe it takes half an hour, skun knuckles and lots of bad words.   The second time is much easier, with far less blood.  Let us know if you how you get on, or if more detailed instructions are needed.    :thumb
