Electrical Hella help!
Hella help!
Ok, I'm feeling a bit stupid asking this, but I figure it's better to get good info before I break something.
My Mini came with a set of non-working Hellas installed; I believe they are FF 200's. Problem is, I can't figure out how to get them open to replace the bulbs. There are no external screws to take out, just the grey ring around the front of the housing. It doesn't seem to want to pry off easily, and I wanted to ask for help before I get any more aggressive. What am I missing? Thanks for any help.

Being the weekend, I kept digging, and eventually found a FF series user guide. (Note: It was much easier to search when I could put the phone down and use a proper computer.) I don't know why Hella doesn't have this guide readily available on their website.
For anyone else who has the same issue and stumbled on this thread, here's the relevant info:

I don't have the pry tool, so I took a small slim screwdriver and slid it up behind the tab on the bottom, and it popped right apart.
