VE projector headlight globes

Hi , Just wondering how to tell which way to put in the projector headlight globes the low beam ones h7 i think. I herd there was a certain way they had to go in? Thanks

I'm not 100% sure, but you could use the old bulb as a template and reverse the way you took it out to put the new one in

Thanks but they are new headlights, Didn't come with low beam globes. I read somewhere that the projector low beam globes go it upside down to what the manual for the reflector style lights says?, Does anyone know if this is true?.

There's a tab on the globe and a slot in the headlight for it to go into I thought so it can't be to hard to work out

The bulbs can only go in one way due to the base of them. Or am I missing something?

[edit]
BEATEN... Took too long getting a picture :emb:

I thought that too, But the tab is between the two notches and the globe is loose on the opposite side to the tab? can someone tell me if this is normal? (I have checked that the metal clip is clipped in).

Thanks,

here's my left hand side headlight from the back the blub is definitely held in top and bottom and shouldnt move

Thanks Redvess the pic is great help!, Thats exactly how mine looks, mine has slight movement at the top when you wiggle the plug(i think it may be the metal clip is bent or something). Ill get Holden to check it when it goes for a service this week. There is not much room to try fix it which is annoying!.

The Alignment tabs don't mean much as I managed to put mine in upside down. (forgot to pay attention to how they came out and figured the tabs would stop them from going in wrong)

You will know if you have done it wrong as the light output is crap. It's the opposite way to the pic in the manual which shows it for the normal light unit.
