Greetings,

I recently purchased a 2008 Dodge Grand Caravan SE and it's obviously time to change the headlights.

Decided to install Sylvania Silverstar Ultra's.

Problem is the old bulbs are a two piece, the bulb itself and a male connector. The new Ultra's are one piece.

Pulling out the red clip does not release the male part of the bulb assembly.

Of course I tried prying it out and the plastic simply snaps off. But then I can see where I can insert a screwdrive to lift the lock but you need three hands.

One to hold the lock up, another to hold the assembly and the third hand with needle nose pliers (?) to pull out the connector.

Silly question, is there a "trick" to do this ?

Cheers, Don

 

And the answer is....



The ends of the jaws are rounded and easily slipped under the lock.

Cheers, Don

 

I hit the link but it endlessly had the loading animation.

Anyways, thanks for following up.

 

You can't see the picture of the surgical clamp embedded in my message ?

No embedded. Its gotta be a link here. Not sure what you did but the link works.

Never seen connectors like that.
