Installing h7 bulb in 2xcite headlight

[skmattwell]

Ive been silly and installed my 2xcite headlights without a main bulb. Really don't want to take the bumper off again, so working through the hatch behind the headlight.

Have plugged the bulb in but I'm confused how it secures in with the little metal bracket. I'm working blind as there barely any space to see how it clips the bulb in.

Does anyone have any photos or their instruction manual on how the metal clip holds the bulb?

Remove the washer bottle (one 10mm bolt) and the air filter box (2 × 10mm bolts and a clip) and you'll get much better access to the back of the headlights than through the silly wheel arch access hatches. The bulb is held in with a spring clip that hooks under a metal hook on either side of the bulb base. I did have some photos of mine but unfortunately can't find them. Hope this helps

Cheers mate, managed it through the hatch in the end (more by luck than judgement)

Handy to know about that for future though!
