its just a screw on for the parkers.
with the main headlight bulb u gotta remove the black rubber surround thing, then unscrew the supposrt clips from either side of the bulb. it varies (different from my 89 to 93 LS).
for the fog lights, u need 2 unscrew the cover, and pull the clip by pulling it towards u, then away. the bulb should come right out.
im currently writing a DIY article on converting the H4H to H4 bulbs (including pics). post it up soon.

yes get used of cutting up your hands when replacing globes on the da lol you have to remove the front bumper to take out the headlights just keep trying you will get them out.

yeah wat phase 2 said.
LoL ur standard headlights r H4H, but u can do an H4 conversion. the clip over the bulbs, with screws on either side must b removed, as it holds the bulb down.
the parkers are T10, with the foggies being H1 (correct me if im wrong).
H4H r bloody hard 2 find, so ur better off gettin a pair b4 u remove anythin. as for the others, head up 2 autobarn and get urself a set of phillips bulbs, as they come with free T10 parkers.
cheers

please tell me why everyone is removing screws to take out the headlight bulbs !!! that is the funniest thing ive ever heard...

has everyone been removing their WHOLE headlight to change the bulb ????????

all u have to do is lift that little clip up that holds the bulb in and it pops out lol

thats so funny !!!

yeah u dont need to remove any screw or take off the headlight, just take the black rubber off and remove the metal clip thats it, the bulb should come out.

**wkdteg** · 17-10-2006 09:45 PM

as u can c above, there are 2 screws either side of the bulb, holding down the clip. like i mentioned earlier, i think it differs from series to series, as my 89 didnt have it, but my 93 does.
there shouldnt b a need 2 take off the headlights, i just did it while the car was in bits anyways.
