Help! Power connectors on High Beams / Angel Eyes

carrot · 02-24-2011, 04:31 PM

I have halogen LCI. Switched out low beams no problem.

But for the high beams and angel eyes, I can't seem to get the power connector to disconnect, on either!!

I'm working on the passenger side, the black connector is high beams, the white is angel eyes. They just won't pull out. Is there a releasing tab, or angle to pull it? Thanks!

I pulled really really hard with pliers. That worked. For the angel eyes, after you've removed the screws, they are still lodged in there. You need to twist them then pull to get it out. Took a long time to figure out, and had to get a mechanic to help me with that.

Most difficult light bulb change ever. But super happy now! :P
