So... you've just gotten your brand new headlight globes and ur sitting there thinking, 'How do i install these suckers!?!?!'...
Well here's a DIY to show you how to change ur headlight globes on a (very sexy) EK :)

EQUIPMENT : MAD props go out to Trav and the team at undergroundimports for supplying me with some super sexy white LED parkers, and some uber super sexy H4 Super white bulbs... Kelvin rating is 4300K :)

STEP 1: Be a crazy mo-fo and take some pics for Trav... crazy mofo includes lying on top of car... NOTE: lying on top of car leaves little bumps if ur a heavy mo-fo... but bashing on the interior roof gets rid of them quick smart ^_^ lolz

STEP 2: Locate Headlights ^_^ lolz.. remove the rubber sock around the main globe... and unplug the globe. theres a little metal clip, the sort of works like a baby pin. unclip the globe, and gradually remove the globe. make sure not to put fingerprints on the actual glass of the globe.

STEP 3: Install new globe, making sure once again not to touch the lens. re apply the clip, put the sock back on, and re attach the clip.

For the left headlight, you'll notice its a little hard to get to the globes... however, the power steering fluid container (un-beknown to me... thnx to my mate for cursing it :p) can slide up, and the cable unattatch like soooo

STEP 4: Un clip the parkers, then remove the globe and housing by twisting... clockwise or counterclockwise (really? dur)... once again, dont touch the globe with ur bare hands.. best to remove with a tea towel or something. get ur brand new "Sexy Parkers" and plug them in... twist the opposite to last way, and re-attatch plug...

STEP 5: Repeat steps 2 thru 4 for other headlight, then sit back and take pictures for Trav :)

good job bro. i thought i would get left with a DIY on this, but thanks man cos i could'nt be stuffed lately .....lol.....just got my globes out the letterbox... sick trav...super speedy delivery.

Be good to get some night pickies to see what they really look like...

sweet work tho, i think the teg lights are even easier with no fluid containers. so should be a 2 min job. Love it

nice job on the lights, being so white aren't they a little dim at night?

also wiht the rocker cover, you didn't remove it? I did mine last week and it was so easy to take off I almost kicked myself for having to ask how :D
