Replacing "Eye Lid" Bulb
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Hello-
I noticed this evening that the upper bulb in the Main (High) Beam light is out.
Removing the rear cap, I am able to access the rear of the 'tube' which contains the upper and lower bulb. I am, however, unable to reach in far enough to replace the bulb.
My book does not show procedure for replacing these "eyelid" bulbs. What is the standard procedure for replacement of this bulb?
Please see the photos below showing the drivers side with proper lights lit and passenger side with 'eyelid' bulb out.
Thank you very much-

Good description on the bulb housing...
Using a hand mirror, I looked into the rear of the headlamp assembly. From there, I could see an upper and lower plastic 'squeeze clip'. Using a stubby screwdriver, I applied downward pressure to the upper clip. With that, the assembly could be removed by pulling on the wires.
The routing of the wires cause the assembly to rotate on the way out, but I don't think twisting is required to remove.
Check the pics below to see bulb type, housing and the clips...
Thanks
