Low beam Hid conversion problem
 
I have purchased the HID conversion unit. Now I am having extreme difficulties installing in. Actually I am having extreme difficulties removing the old bulb. There is simply no space to move or to see what you are doing.

I there a way to remove the whole light and then to proceed with the hid installation, cause if it is this hard to remove the bulb in the tight space how am I suppose to install the balast after wards? Also I notice that In my low beam I have to lights, a real small one that looks like a flashlight lamp and the actual low beam, what is the small one for and should I remove it once the xenon bulb is in?

Thanks guys....

I have an S70 and while it is cramped as well I was still able to do this without removing the whole assembly...

Now if you want to remove it, if they are anything like the S70's, then there is probably three 10mm screws holding it in place. Just remove the wiring harness's from the assembly and find these screws loosen them and remove the assembly.

I am not sure but it could be more difficult then that as I am not sure if they will just pop out or if you may have to lower the front bumper at all to remove them.

Question: Where did you buy your HID's? If you got them from SharpHID.com they should be the slim ballasts and therefore should be easier to put in a cramped space.

Don't remove the little bulb...
