Help - problem removing H7 globe from holder

[maxrob200]

I got some Philips Power Xtreme H7 globes and was going to change the old ones out. The holder on the passenger side seems to be stuck. turned the holder but it reuses to come out. The driver side was no problem. It looks to be wedged in somehow, maybe PO stuffed it in the wrong way or something but it wont pop out. Any suggestions?

Would you be able to take a picture to clarify?

Will have another go at it on the weekend..real PITA. Otherwise how does one go about removing the whole headlight?

See I've only ever changed the bulb while my headlights were out, so I can't really picture having to lean in through the bonnet to get it open.

So you have the stock halogen headlights?

Yes, stock lights, not bad but Xtreme power is better IMO, I used them in my 01 Bora and it was a huge difference. In all fairness the stock bulbs are already much better than the ones on the Bora. If removing the headlight is "relatively" painless, I might have a go at that as it will let me see what is causing the holder not to release form the socket
