phase 2 headlights to phase 3 - tysonbully2k12 - 19-02-2013

just wondering is it just a straight swap, i have frosted phase 2 headlights and was going to get some phase 3 crystals,
are they straight swap?
same bulbs?
and whats the best way to get the cover off to spray the mask black?
thanks a million lads Smile

Pretty much a straight swap but you'll need to swap the adjusters off of your ph2 onto the ph3 lights as they have a different plug on.
should be the same bulbs (H7)

and put them in the oven to split them Wink

also swap the indicator stalk so that you have full beam on with dipped beam Smile

yes just 3 torx screws in the surround behind the steerting wheel then 2 torx screws hold the stalk in simply undo them and replace the stalk i have one for sale if you need one really easy Smile

The adjusters just untwist easily

as for the stalk unscrew the 3 screws on the steering column (Torx T20) then 2 T15s i think hold the stalk on

How do the electric beam adjusters come off the lights ?


RE: phase 2 headlights to phase 3 - JamesG - 19-02-2013

adjusters are easy to take off but sometimes can be a right PITA to put back in

They twist about 45 degrees then pull out of the reflector in the light as long as your careful its not too bad


RE: phase 2 headlights to phase 3 - JamesG - 19-02-2013

It'll only go one way so try both ways lol as i can't remember


RE: phase 2 headlights to phase 3 - Willo - 19-02-2013

Ill look tommorow I got some crystals sat here waiting to go in

IIRC it's anticlockwise to remove the electric adjusters. There's a plastic locating tab on the body of the headlight at the top of each adjuster, you need to gently lever these up so it'll turn back underneath the tab. When you refit them pull the reflector back and hold it firmly to re-engage the ball joint on the adjuster as you push the adjuster back in then twist it to lock it it place.
