PINGGOLF
Been here awhile...
Thats Right!
30 Min. TOPS for anyone who has a tid bit of common sense!
For me...22 min!! The wife was at work for the weekend and I was in charge of our 5 month old. So...it had to be quick. Luckily enough, she was content in her bouncer! YES...I had a monitor!
1.) Open Hood (If you did not think that this was the first step...STOP...do not try to do this! HA!)
2.) remove the front plastic shroud by removing 2 Screws and 6-10 fasteners. To remove the fasteners simply take an ice pick or SMALL screwdriver and push the dot DOWN and then lift the black fastener out.
3.) Remove the front AIR intake. Should just pull out...EASILY as it is not attached to anything. It may even come out when you pull off the plastic shroud.
4.) Remove the air box. Unscrew clamp, unhook the MAF by removing the GREY plastic piece FIRST on the bottom side...then pull the electrical connection! Next Remove the TOP section of the airbox and remove the filter. Next remove 1 screw in the back of the airbox and then 2 screws in the front of the box. Then pull it out.
5.) Unscrew the 2 black nuts on the power steering fluid reservoir and move it over. NOT ENOUGH TO TURN IT OVER but to get it out of the way.
6.) Unscrew the BIG BLACK PLASTIC cover on the low beam.
7.) Now your ready to R&R the HID light.
you will need:
-SMALL-1/4 ratchet
-4 inch 1/4 extension
-1/4 socket
-Hex head phillips head bit to go into the 1/4 socket.
----in place of the last 2 items, if you have a phillips head SOCKET...it would be perfect!
-TAPE...this can be gift wrap tape!
****The HID bulbs MOVE....LEFT AND RIGHT! You can move them slowly to where you can get both screws into the best position as needed for removal. Keep in mind, they will AUTO ADJUST the second you crank the car****
8.) Remove BOTH screws from the bulb retainer. (This is a BIG METAL CLIP that holds the bulbs in place) ***DO NOT DROP A SCREW...OR YOUR SCREWED*** Use your fingers along with the ratchet. Once the screw can be turned by hand, remove the ratchet and just use the extension to get it all the way loose. then carefully use your fingers to extrude the screw from the retainer. The next screw...loosen...but remove WITH THE BRACKET to aid in keeping control of the screw.
9.) Remove bulb. Once removed LOOK at the OEM bulb. You will see a Spring like SEAL. ****KEEP THIS SEAL AND INSTALL ON YOUR NEW BULBS****
10.) After spring seal is installed on new bulb, install the bulb. ****PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THIS STEP**** Put your first screw in the bracket and secure with a small piece of tape making sure not to cover the phillips drive of the screw...trust me, it can be done! Install the bracket as it was originally. For the other screw...PUT THE SCREW ON THE TIP OF YOUR PHILLIPS HEAD DRIVE and wrap the head with a about a 2 inch piece of tape to secure the screw to the drive. Install screw and tighten both down.
11.) Your done with the passengers side. Reinstall the plastic low beam cover, power steering fluid reservoir, and airbox.
12.) DRIVERS SIDE...remove the black cover on the fuse box located right where you need to be.
13.) Remove 2 screws in the back and 1 in the front that hold the fuse box in place. Next, slide the box to the left...towards the engine.
14.) Remove the low beam cover and proceed again with steps 8, 9, and 10.
15.) once the bulb is installed, reinstall the fuse box, the front air intake, the huge plastic shroud and your done.
****MAKE SURE BOTH LIGHTS WORK BEFORE RE-INSTALLING ANYTHING!!!***
They will not AUTO ADJUST until the car is cranked!
Any questions...Holler! I just saved you $200!
Donations are accepted! HA!
