Hey folks.

Dont know if i'm being thick or my big hands are restricting me but I cant seem to get the headlights out to wire in some new connectors.
I've managed to get the top two black twist caps off but I cant get to the bottom 3rd and final one. Is there a certain way of doing it? It looks pretty well buried in there.

cheers.

 

mk3/4 Escort?

Pop the ball joint off the bottom one.

 

83 mk3

 

Need to just pop the lamp off the ball joint fitting. So it leaves the lower stud with the ball end in place.

Long screwdriver down the back of the lamp and it should pop off with a bit of leverage.

 

Oh right! does it need a bit of brute force? I was a bit nervous.

 

Yes, man up!

Put a bit of rag against the front panel if you don't want to mark it.

Long screwdriver/pry bar down the back against where the ball goes in.

Give the top a smack with the palm of your hand, it'll pop off.

 

 

I can't really explain it any better to make it easier, save for coming and doing it for you.

 

worked! cheers
