Hi guys, i want to replace my HB4 globes in the projector units. Is there a DIY around to show how to do it? cause i think the actual lights have to come out to do that. Its pretty tight =x

So can someone help please.

Thank you

You don't need to take the whole headlamp unit out to change globes. They use a bayonet type fitting in there, just twist the visible part (plastic right angle where the wiring plugs in) of the globe and it'll come out.
Mine were pretty tight the first time i tried them. I ended up unscrewing the socket of the globe holder (there's screws in there, 3 i think), then I realised how easy it actually is

. It's pretty tight for space, your right, but trust me they'll come out easy. Just remember not to touch the glass part of the globe either.

This might make it a bit easier. Don't mind the different shape of the globe, I've upgraded to HID. Above the WOER writing you can see where the lugs for the globes locate. There are three of these that slot into the holder.
This is the LHS light. The globe twists anti-clockwise on this side (think it's the same on the other side) bout 30-40 degrees. Give it a bit of brute force 'n' ignorance and it'll come out.

You can see the 3 lugs i'm talking bout here:
