Default 194 bulbs

Yo!!

I just got my tC 2 mths ago and ive been only doing minor changes on the car. AEM tie-down, trd radiator cap, trd oil cap, cuzo 9006 and 9005, xenon 7440 and thats it.

I just got some xenon 194 bulbs and i cant pull out the plug for that. . . so can get some help on how to do it.

THANK YOU

righty tighty.... lefty loosey...? haha.. sorry..

well.. it helps if you have small hands... or what i've done is remove the plug for the headlight bulb with kinda gets in the way sometimes... just reach in and twist the sucker out... which might take a little effort to do so. not much to explain...

it helps to unplug the headlights.. then go for it... and then you always have to hold your hands at a weird angle. good luck.

It can happen and I have heard of it happening. I have never personally experienced it so I couldn't tell you, but I think they will last quite a long time.
