Foglight bulb removal

Postby Mullet » Tue Jun 03, 2014 7:42 pm

hi guys, just wondering if anyones changed their foglight bulbs and could be of assistance? I've got my foglight bulb + holder out but can't seem to seperate them. It's like they're soldered in or something? car in question is a 2014 vrx.
any help is much appreciated

So twisting the bulb around doesn't work??

I did mine the other day (aftermarket though) to check a fault and they are a bit hard to get in/out (again cos of this particular set I have)

Twist and pull worked for me, they seal tightly maybe that is the resistance your noticing

That's the bulb hoges. Yeah it's definitely one piece, the contacts for the bulb are soldered onto connections for the wiring plug. which is a bit of a bummer. I don't suppose there's aftermarket holders available anywhere?
off to ebay i go! haha :lol:

Why would there be aftermarket bulb holders? That is how they are made, it's a H11 bulb. You change the whole thing, not just the glass part.

Can you take a pic?

The bulb cant be soldered onto the wiring...or else how would you change your bulbs?

The bulb has a plug on the end of it, where the harness/wiring plugs into it

You just buy the entire unit, it's not expensive
