  How to change drl and h7 bulbs
Posted by: tucpal - 1:st-Mar-2014, 19:37:54 - Forum: Lighting How-to's - Replies (74)

This How to will Cover How to change the DRL BULB AND THE H7 BULBS.
Most will know How to Do this but it will Help those that Don't.


FIRST STEP.......

Left Hand side
Remove the Hose from the Air Filter then Pull the Air Filter Box out
and Place it some were Safe out of the way
your Air Hose may be at the Other end of the Air Filter
but do the Same and Remove the Air Filter Box out of the way
Place a Rag or something over the Hole for the Air Filter
so Nothing can fall Down there.

[Image: 1.JPG]

[Image: 2.JPG]

Now you will have Access to the DRL and the H7 Bulb Holders
Place a Screw Driver in the Slot on the Cover and twist it
then Remove the Cover by hand.

[Image: 3.JPG]

[Image: 4.JPG]

Now squeeze the Black Tabs on the DRL Holder and Gently take it out
just be Real Careful when you Install the New DRL Bulb
that it is Fixed in the Holder Properly
if it Falls in to the Headlight
it is a Nightmare to Get it back Out
i Recommend the PIAA DRL as they fit Perfect.
 
[Image: 5.JPG]

Now you can Remove the Two Caps for the H7 Bulbs
just Twist them off by Hand.

[Image: 6.JPG]

[Image: 7.JPG]

The Bulbs are held in by Two T15 Torx Screws  
just give them a Half Turn
Do not take the Screws Out just Slacken them a bit
Then Twist the H7 Bulb out.

[Image: 8.JPG]

When you put the Bulbs back in Remember too Tighten
up the Two Torx Screws on the h7 Bulbs
too Refit the Air Filter Box put the Rubber Boot it Position first
this will make it alot Easier to get the Air Box back in to Position.

NEXT STEP......

The Right Hand Side.

Pull out the Washer Bottle tube
and Remove the Fuse Box cover.

[Image: 10.JPG]

[Image: 11.JPG]

[Image: 12.JPG]

You can also Remove the 10mm Bolt
from the Headlight fixing arm if you want
again Place a Screw Driver in the slots and Twist
there Really is not alot of Space on this Side
it is Really Tight so take your time.

[Image: 13.JPG]

Getting the DRL back into this Side is Harder
it is much more of a Tight space to work
some Members have Removed the Whole Fuse Box to do this
but it is Possible to do this with out Removing it.

[Image: 14.JPG]

The H7 Covers are the Same it is a very Tight space again
so you will need a Really Small Screw Driver to slacken the Two screws
and Remove the H7 Bulb.  

[Image: 15.JPG]

Hope this has helped Someone out there..

Real easy to do but just take you Time on the Right Hand side
as it is a Tight place to work.

Please note if changing the DRL bulbs for the cheaper Blue DRL bulbs like these

NOTE..........

On some cars you may get and Error about Position lamp,
Check the DRL is Working if it is Check the Rear Lights
as this will Also bring up the Errors on the DRL
if a Taillight has Blown.
