I know the instructions are somewhere, but I am having trouble figuring out how to change the headlamp bulbs (high & low beams) on the easy side-driver side. Do I need to loosen the headlamp assembly or can I just go into the headlamp assembly without removing it?
View 3 RepliesIs there a DIY on how to change the headlamp bulbs, DRL and turn bulbs? Do i need to remove the bumper cover and/or headlamp from the car or can i change the bulbs with the headlamp in place?
View 3 RepliesI have checked fuse 46 and 47, and installed new headlight bulbs. I have high beams, but no low beams. I have searched this topic but no one has the same prob it seems. My headlight switch has broken. Could it be the headlight switch?
In my manual, it says the 2002 has a fuse panel behind the glove box. I took glove box out but it doesn't look like a fuse panel.
I don't know the official name, but it's right above the high beams, it stays lit if you just have your side lights on too. BTW, what's the purpose of it since we really don't have DRL's?
Modifying it with a different bulb, if so what's the size? Same ones as the interior map lights?
So it looks like I need 9011 HIRs for my 9005 high beams, but which HIR do I use for the 11F low beams? same?
View 14 RepliesMy High beams for a 2003 cavalier are not working. I checked the bulbs and they are good, The Low Beams Work and my drls work. I switch from low to high and the blue indicator on the cluster panel comes on.
View 5 RepliesPrior to me switching out the high beam bulbs, they were both aiming correctly. After I switched out the bulbs, both high beams are aiming up in trees literally. They arent even close to lighting up the street/pavement. I was wondering if I may have installed them somewhat cockeyed but I thought it was odd that I would have done both of them the same since they are both equally up in trees/same overall height.
View 2 RepliesI want to replace my headlight bulbs; I want to install 8000K in my low beams, and maybe 3000K in my hi beams. But all of the bulbs that I ever installed either; A the burnt out within few weeks (lost color), or B they stopped working.
Now, regular WHITE bulbs seem to work forever; but the color ones, burn out/break. Low quality?? I need a pair of very good 9006 8000K, and 9005 3000K. Again, but I don't want to change them in a week or two. I want them to last!!
P.S. 2005 Toyota Camry
My front dipped headlamps both burnt out within days of each other and I replaced them with H7 Sylvanias. Pretty easy to get out, but they are too dim. I believe I do not have them installed properly.
Looking for PDF for this replacement procedure and/or give a description of how this is done???? It is kind of a bugger to get inside that housing. I am a mechanical novice with cars, but a competent M1/M14 gunsmith. I really can't justify paying VW $50 to install a few bulbs. I like fixing things for myself.
When driving at night I often get high beams flashed at me by oncomming traffic who mistakenly believe I'm running my high beams. I thought the headlights (xenons) were self levelling. Do I need to adjust them?
View 22 RepliesI have a 2007 prius. The headlamp, "high voltage", is going on and off. Is there an alternative or lower cost bulb and instructions on how to replace the bulb. I've heard you have to loosen one side of the bumper?
View 2 RepliesI experienced abnormal behaviour of the xenons (I think).I thought that when all lights were off (no DRL's or what so ever), and I flash the high beams (pull the left lever towards me and release) that I'd see the halogens only and no xenons, but apparently the xenons are flashing as well.
I know there's a mechanism in front of the xenon bulbs that covers the normal xenon beam partly for the normal lights, and gives you the full beam when high beams are on (the thing called "Bi-Xenon").
But I thought the xenons are not supposed to come on just for flashing if the normal lights are not already on, because the lighting of a xenon bulb is not fast enough.
I'm having problems changing the interior lights for my prius. In particular the 3 personal lights at the front. how to change the light bulbs and what light bulbs they are?
View 13 RepliesMy truck only has low beams. When you move the stalk on the colum backwords it changes nothing, when you move it forwards the low beams go out but the high beams do not come on.
View 14 RepliesI recently installed new halo HID headlights in my 2003 f150 with HID bulbs and ballast the passenger side worked and the drivers side didn't nth lights wired exactly the same. I switched everything from the passenger to the drivers side still nothing I switched everything back to passenger side and they don't work now. I tired regular bulbs in the passenger side an it worked then on the drivers side and it worked for a split second and went out and then I retried t on the passenger side and it worked for a split second and went out a now neither are working. I checked all the fuses and their good. What the problem could be?
View 5 RepliesI have a 2010 prius the basic model I turned the lights and both headlights went out they only worked on high beams.
I changed the bulbs no luck they still only work on high beams checked fuses they looked good is there anything else I can check?
After spending weeks ordering parts and doing research on this issue all my attempts have not solved the issue. To reiterate the issue, the high beams work, and the low beams do not. Thus far I have attempted the following without the desired result-
1. Changed the headlights out just in case both bulbs burnt at once.
2. Changed the blinker stalk in hopes of a faulty switch.
3. Changed the headlight switch to a brand new OEM Euro style switch.
4. Checked all fuses (did this first actually).
The other night on my way home, I flipped on the high beams and the low beams didn't shut off. Flash to pass still works, and pushing in on the end of the stem turns the low beams off as well.
Having the column switch apart, is it possible this could be fixed without having to pull the steering wheel? Or, am I better off just spending the hundred dollars of so and putting in a new part?
It ford related but I just bought a used car that has hid low beams and when you turn on high beams there is no light at all. The blue light on dash comes on and head lights go off. I just got this car 2 days ago and haven't really looked into it.

View 1 RepliesI have installed 3 Hella Luminator HID. I am having trouble connecting them to the hi beams. I've had a friend install them and for some reason, they just won't come on together with the hi beams. I have to turn them on with a separate button which is not very practical while driving.
Is there an electric schematic I can download or something else?
