Re: Bulb Replacement
Wow I feel like a klutz. I changed the left low beam last night and I am not sure how I even got the wire bail to hold the bulb in. Is there an easy way? I am almost afraid to change the right side as it looks even tighter. Is there a diagram of how that bail should look when properly installed? Currently frustrated!

The flap just seems to fit in the cut-out space and has no separate clip or attaching mechanism. Once the flap is off, pull out the bulb housing and re-set it in its original position after you change the bulb. Good luck.
