Dear all:

I did a search on the forum and only found the sticky for GD (you have to jack up the car to replace light bulb, etc.).


I am trying to replace my headlight bulb on my GE8. I was able to unplug the connector (lots of grease!) but how can I take the bulb out?

I was told to turn anti-clockwise and suppose to come off easily - but not sure what to hold on to "turn". Should I turn with the rubber hosting or just the bulb (the 3 connectors)?

Thanks again buddy!

 

There is a metal clip that holds the bulb in. You have to remove that first before you can take out the bulb. If I remember correctly you have to push it toward the bulb then down and it should spring loose.

 

I tried to look (tight area) but was not able to see (or feel) the clip.

I must be missing something obvious - can't be this hard!

 

Once you see it, you'll see that its very easy... but of course it is hard to see.

Get a small mirror and a flashlight.

 

Cool man... will give it a try again in the morning!

Thanks again!

 

Manual says

1. Disconnect the 3P connector (A), then remove the
rubber cap (B) from the headlight.
2. Pull the retaining spring (A) away from the bulb (B),
then remove the bulb.

I changed mine quite awhile ago so do not remember if have to squeeze or move the spring before pulling away. It is easy though and do not touch the bulb.

 

Thanks guys - was able to do myself.

What I was missing was the plastic cup. After I removed it, I can get to the metal clip.

Took me less than 5 minutes each afterward.

Many thanks again!!

 

above the headlight is a small light....what is the specs for that?
i notice it only today that it was empty..i want to put a bulb in it

 

Do you mean the parking light (orange color)?

 

id like to get some more info on this.. my "parking light" buld on top of the headlight is blown also where can i find out what kinda bulb it takes?
and also do you really have to jack up the whole car to replace the headlight bulb?!
