Changing HID Bulbs
Hello all,
New member here. I did a search and found tons of articles for changing out the HID bulbs. I made a mistake when changing out the driver's side HID bulb. Instead of twisting the grey cable and then unclip the harness, I unclip the hardness first and pulled the bulb straight out of the socket. Now the problem is that the bulb is attached so hard to the grey cable that I'm having a tough time getting it out of the socket. Any tips on this? I have countless cuts on my hands trying to twist the bulb out of the socket, but to no avail. Thanks.

Try putting the bulb back into the socket, reclip the wire, and twist the grey cable off from the bulb. It can be tough to work in that small of a space, but it can be done. Good luck

Just a update on this. I was able to remove the bulb with two pliers because it was stuck so hard on the grey cable. Note to self: remove cable before unclipping the metal wires. Thanks all.
