VF Headlight bulb replacement

[lacks creativity]

Has anybody attempted and been successful in replacing the headlight bulbs in a VF SV6 / SS ? after much studying of the 1 page within the manual, I have almost given up all hope besides removing the front bar and the headlight to perform this, any advice would be greatly appreciated for a nub like myself.

i changed my headlight globes a couple of months ago to some philips crystal visions. i thought, "this should be a breeze" but definitely wasn't! took about an hour all up (from working out how to get to the globe).

you'll need plenty of patience and it can be done without removing the front bar. for the passenger side make sure you remove the air filter for better access. it's a tight squeeze but is possible.

for the drivers side, you'll need to remove the coolant tube (like it says in the manual) but also remove a grey unit (i think the ECU?) and you can get your hands underneath. You'll obviously need to unscrew the caps to the globe and just pop the globes out.

This probably isn't helping much as it's a bit hard to explain but yes it can be done.

I'll see if i can take some pics over the weekend to show you what i did...

I actually had to remove the front bar... Was an absolute pain. What happened from VE to VF??

I wish I had little girlie hands! would make this a lot easier! I am looking to put a set of the Phillips crystal visions as well, I had them in the last car and they made such a difference.

Maybe when they made the VE they were making money, when they released the VF they thought "Hey you know what's a good way to make money? make everyone bring the cars back to put new headlights in"

Guys much easier way is to turn the front wheel and undo a couple of screws and pull back the stone guard and there you go access to your head light I've did it when installing my hid takes about 10min

Is there any particular product code?

Yeh removing the stone gaurd is the way to go by the looks of it, thank you for that 1

has anyone looked at HID change over? the VF already has the projector housing so you wont be that guy putting HID's into standard headlight and blinding everyone, this is what I was looking at its for the VE but the back of the lights look similar
