Presara HID globes

[Man+van]

Hi all,

Has anyone tried to replace the HID globes in a Presara???

I tried today, pulled the front bumper off to get the headlight out.

Got the globe out and followed the lead which obviously goes to the ignitor. that is incorporated to the underside of the headlight. Pulled the igniter apart and the globe is hard-wired in.

Am i missing something??

How do they change them at the factory?

I have taken photo's and can post them if you want and when i work out how.

Cheers

Richard

do you have photos of the whole headlight and where the ballast is located etc?

HID lamps with a D2/D4 base come off from the socket or igniter (depending on setup) with a twisting motion. You twist the igniter anti-clockwise then pull to take the lamp off it.

should be twisted motion to remove it, if not maybe theres a small clip to hold the bulbs?

That's correct as the HID lamp is then held in with clips... however, these can not be unclipped until the igniter is removed... by twisting anti-clockwise.
