Bulbs wont fit?

Postby ciggo » Fri Jul 22, 2016 6:31 pm

Hi all,

I recent purchased both the high and low beam replacement bulbs as I wanted a brighter light and longer throw. The lights I purchased are the Phillips Whitevision 4300k HB4 and HB3.

However when I removed the OEM bulbs and tried to replace them with the new ones I could not get them to fit. I wasn't even sure if the connector was attached properly to the bulb as it was a super tight fit and didn't click in nicely. No matter how hard I tried I couldn't turn the bulb into the headlight. It was as if the screw in part of the bulb was too big.

Am I doing something wrong? Any help is appreciated :)

Not sure if I can help but yes they are a pain to fit, make sure you're using the right ones in the right holes.

Took me a while to get them to click in, but the HB4 and HB3 are correct.

Did you move the washer filler on the drivers side?

I found it harder to get mine out than the new ones in, went for HB3 4300k and HB4 4100k, not a huge change but they are good.
