    WTF! Headlight assembly won't come out.

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I'm trying to change out the driver's side turn signal lamp on my 2004 Avant Ultrasport.

    I took out the two torx screws on top and loosened the one on the bottom of the headlamp assembly but the thing is still pretty much jammed in there.

    Anybody got any tips on this? I'm about to pop my dick string.

    yeah - one is to the left and easy to see, and the other one is kind of hidden back behind where the turn signal bulb located.

    4 screws total. Don't yank too hard. You'll snap the headlight tray.

    just use a longer extension for the screw on the back.

    the two on the bottom dont need to come all the way out, just loosen since the headlight mounts are slotted on the bottom.

    i just replaced that bulb... still getting the out error, ive already tried messing with the contacts with about one days worth or working, now its stopped again. Now for the electrical grease... hopefully this works. Let me know if your bulb doesnt seem to be broken.
