Terri Eagle Member 16 Member For: 13y 6m 17d Gender: Female Posted 04/11/11 08:20 PM Share Posted 04/11/11 08:20 PM My dealer says the manual is "in the mail", so quick question... Is there any trick to removing the headlight globes in the FG XR6? Changed the parkers in about 5 seconds, but the H4 globes didn't want to budge and I didn't want to snap anything. Yank harder or is here a trick? Thanks Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/77660-replacing-globes/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

They lock into place with a twist. Just shove a camera with a flash behind there, take a pic and see how it opens Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/77660-replacing-globes/#findComment-1156556 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remove rubber boot, then remove globe retaining spring, and globe will come straight out.

Farrk me - 20 min job turned into 1 hour while I diccked around the engine bay/underneath the car/hand pushed the car out the way looking for the farrken nut Eventually found the little bugger - was not on the ground but sitting atop some tubing on the drivers side of the Inter-cooler. Ah well, but changed the globe so all good now Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/77660-replacing-globes/#findComment-1156728 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terri Eagle Member 16 Member For: 13y 6m 17d Gender: Female Posted 26/12/11 11:55 PM Author Share Posted 26/12/11 11:55 PM Being a girl with girlie sized hands, I don't have to remove anything to get to the lights :sungum: I was having issues with the plugs. Apparently the same girlie hands are not strong enough to squeeze the sides of the plugs easily. So you win some, you lose some. I changed to the phillips +100%. I wish they were white, but I need the extra light for the dark roads I travel on. I had the really white lights, but they just didn't produce the same amount of light. It does look a little odd at the moment... I have really white parkers and really bright, but yellowish headlights.
