Headlight Sliders

Guys,

Just picked up some lamp protectors and tried to remove the sliding clips to get the lights out...after much shouting and swearing the clips refused to budge...am i missing something?

I take it i should be able to slide the clips straight up and the headlight should then be able to removed?

Sorry if this has been done to death before! "you cannot teach stupid people to do clever things"

double length of string under the clip and pull. Some use a pair of pliers. HTH "To finish first, one first has to finish ...."

Or some spinach I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Whatever floats your boat Rob. Now what did you use for the headlamps? I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Don't be tempted to pull them all the way up ...you need to line up the holes on the sliders with the lugs on the back of the headlight unit Wink 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021
