vulgar1 Posted July 20, 2017 Share Posted July 20, 2017 Just got back from a road trip where my left headlight burned out. Reach in to remove the bulb so I can order a new one and low and behold the connector will not release. Is there a tab I am missing on this thing or what? I pull on it and it feels like I am going to break the tabs off the back of the headlight. Wtf? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer VFROZ Posted July 20, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted July 20, 2017 Yes, you have to press a tab in the connector for it to let go of the bulb, at least on the H4 on the 5th gen. It will not come out if you don't. I can't remember where on the plug it is, but once you've done it once it's easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Dutchy Posted July 20, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted July 20, 2017 Push the tab in and move up (or down) to "unhook" and it with open on its hinge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulgar1 Posted July 20, 2017 Author Share Posted July 20, 2017 This is for a 6th gen (I should have put that in original post) and I am talking about the connector only. Not that metal holding the bulb in the housing. I figured there must be a tab I can't see but I couldn't feel it when I was checking earlier. I will feel around more when I get home.

vulgar1 Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 I give up. The service manual online is the one I have. I also have the owners manual. I can't see the tab or feel it. I guess I have to pull the whole damn fairing. Fml. All I need is 1 picture of the connector. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer VFROZ Posted July 21, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted July 21, 2017 On the 5th gen H4 bulbs, you press in both side clips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulgar1 Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 Yeah I went back to it and squeezed and it popped right off. I'm a retard. Thanks. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer interceptor69 Posted July 23, 2017 Member Contributer Share Posted July 23, 2017 I had to change one out on my'98 and noticed I needed tiny hands-there ain't no room in there! Took forever. Sent from my GT-N5110 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
