SupraTRD83 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I cant belive I'm posting this into a technical forum and am just awaiting so many sarcastic comments to my first ever post here on the Supra Club (be gental) here goes: I want to replace my headlight bulbs with some new HID ones I got from Ebay and they listed that they are a direct replacement for my stock ones. How do i get them out of my 1996 Supra? It seems that there is no room to the left one (as the bar holding the battery is in the way) and the right one ive twisted and pulled but dont want to break anything. feel an idiot had 4 cars and every car ive been good at doing this on it myself but this one I love and just darnt break anything lol. so how do you get them out to replace?

michael Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 If you are fitting HIDs you'll probably be in search of some extra room for the metal boxes and wires - take the light units out and you'll find it much easier to do this and to change the bulbs. There is a visible fixing on each near the rad and then 2 nuts behind each light next to the wing, you might need small hands and a flexible joint on a socket to get to them easily.
