Help!! Oem Headlights

nyalpine90 · 03-13-2008, 06:54 PM

one of the headlights has a styrofoam inside by the turning signal

do i have to bake the headlight to open it?

Mattscott · 03-13-2008, 07:33 PM

Nope remove the blinker it will comes right out. Shake it some and you'll be fine.

nyalpine90 · 03-13-2008, 07:39 PM

nyalpine90 · 03-13-2008, 07:40 PM

If you take off the back cover you might be able to suck it out with a vacuum by the low beam light, You might have to take the D1S bulb out so you can have some space, good luck with that man, sorry to hear that.

mds82 · 03-13-2008, 09:11 PM

vacuum, compressed air, go in through the blinker with a long pliers, shake it a lot. dont give up!

a l l a n · 03-13-2008, 10:15 PM

goodluck on getting it out. btw, would you mind pm'ing me where you got this and the price? thanks in advance.

nyalpine90 · 03-14-2008, 08:43 AM

lmao...i will try all this! thanks

i did call the seller and he is willing to pay for the shipping to take this out...but if i cant remove it and i will ship them...they are internally wire to plug n play with my car..since i have halogens

nyalpine90 · 03-14-2008, 11:28 AM

i have attempted to remove the styrofoam piece and no luck...high beam bulb is enclosed..so nothing cant come in or out..lol

the only way would be to remove the front plastic clear housing...

im just goin to send it back and have the guy send me another headlight..
