Headlight and Foglight Bulb Upgrade

[stevowaring]

I just purchased a set of upgraded headlight and foglight bulbs for my Mk2 MR2.

Anyone know any "How-to's" on how to replace these!

I don't want to break anything!

Thanks

Steve

You don't say if they're direct replacements or not, I presum so.
Headlights are a piece of cake, just 8 screws in total per headlight (if it is just the light unit you're replacing).

Foglights, haha, you'll be lucky to get those out, probably have to drill them out (there's 3 screws at the front of each unit - you only want to unscrew the 2 recessed screws):

Yeah, they were just bulb upgrades.

Thanks for your help, I'm sure many others will read this too!

As Johnny well points out - have fun with the foglights!!

I had to change mine recently and the problem is being so low to the road they get corroded very quickly. In order to drill them out you will need a LONG drill bit as the furthest in is very far in and unless your careful you will end up rubbing the bumper with the chuck!

Luckily the bolts are standard size so if your careful when drilling out you can just chuck another couple of 10m (i think - could be 8m) bolts in to replace them

Mine came out pretty easily, but then for some reason the previous owner had decided they only needed one screw each and that they should be different colours (one white, one yellow) and have different bulbs (one H3, one H3C).

Takes all sorts I guess...

Saying that its the same on my new one!! One is yellow and the other is white - maybe they were halfway through changing and gave up!
