Headlight connector.


Recommended Posts

I have a 2008 octy vrs with xenons. I'm trying to get the headlight to try and figure out how to flatten the beam for driving to France. The problem I have is, how do you get the black electrical connector of the back of the headlight. If any also know how to change the beam that would be a bonus.

You remove the plastic nut then pull the leaver to release the headlight.

 

Pull the light forward and the cable connector has a tab you push down to release it. If the light hasnt been out for a while it can be very stiff

Successfully managed this today. I still couldn't unclip it easily but I removed the two wire bits and the access box to the bulbs and this allowed me to turn the whole headlight unit 180 degrees and then I could easily see the clip on the connector and this made it much easier.

I usually give the connector (not the metal electrical bits) and the light housing runners a spray with silicon spray (Back to Black etc) before putting it back together. Makes it easier to take out next time.
