Hey guys, earlier this week i replaced the halogen bulbs with LEDs. I also replaced the stock d2s bulbs with the Osram CBI 5K. While changing the d2s bulb I accidentally broke the clips that hold the retainer in place. Without the tabs the bulb moves around in the housing.
How can I secure the bulbs from moving around in the housing without purchasing a new headlight.


Thanks

What method of access did you use to replace the bulb?

 

I originally tried removing the bulb from behind the bumper. I broke the tabs due to the lack of visibility. I then removed the bumper and the headlight and got to it. it was too late at that point.

 

Didnt I specify to you, to remove the wheel? It literally takes 10 minutes to remove a wheel. Had you taken my advice....You wouldnt be in this predicament homie.....

 

If you can't Duct it, f^ck it! But in all seriousness, you may be screwed. Now is a good time for new headlights done up by 180.

 

If i purchase i used G37 projector on ebay. Will I be able to swap out the retainer and clip.

 

Yes, just make sure the projector you buy, you can visually see the retainer clip attached.

You will have to remove the entire headlight assembly to comfortably work on it and take your time.

 

The retrofit source may have just the retainer clip you are looking for. Call them.

 

Thanks guys
