Celica Forums General Discussion Exterior Need Help installing low beam light

how is newlight sopose to fit in that old one thing.

You see that plastic piece on the bottom of your old light?

That needs to go onto the new light.

Pull the old light out of the plastic socket, and put the new light in its place.

You might have to pull hard.


Pull from the base, not the bulb itself.

You never want to directly touch the bulb.

It's kinda like plugging in a plug into a wall socket.

aright thanks, but there stubburn as hell. im still pulling

Yeah, they are...

Wiggle it back and forth as you pull.

ive pulled like hard core and it hasnt even budge. i should be pulling at the bast of the light. where there is a metal thing.

r you sure you got the right kind of bulb?
i don't remember doing that to my lows...i thought it was an entire new bulb housing

H7

just noticed in the eclica store it says MT-440, Mine say MT-448 but what does that have to do w/getting the stock bulb out.

Not an entire new housing. At least, not with most lights. I think you can get it that way though.


Pull like a bitch and wiggle it. It will eventually come out.

It has to.

Also, if you still can't pull it out, pry it out.

Get a flat head screwdriver, or a butter knife, and get it between the metal base and the plastic.

Make sure you have the right bulbs...the left bulb looks like a 9005 bulb which you are replacing with your H7. This would be impossible. I think you may have you low beam and high beam bulb confused.

u are right. good thing i never got the bulb out. i had the lows and highs mixed up. thanks

I didn't even think of that.

installed them finnaly. but now right light is condensating. me and my friend took it out earlier but not apart. but i guess we messed it up somehow.

Yeah, my low beam MTECH that I bought didnt fit into the low beam connecter thing because the MTECH metal thing (sorry dont know its called) where you plug in is too wide. I had to take a plier to make it a little smaller and it fits well.

never had any problem installing mine..just the spring on the driver side was a bitch to plug back in..

i told you the bulb wasn't right
