How do I change the.....

My 05 Cooper, not an "S", daytime running light.

This is the one that comes on when the car is started and mounted just below the reg head, I found the hole for it, but cant get it out of the socket to replace.

Please help. Thanks Dustin

You're talking about the same bulb as the high beam (bottom half main assembly)? Or down by the turn signal?

Does this help you?

(I had to work with it for a few minutes to get them to comply, same procedure just a different bulb)

If its the ones by the turn signal I might be able to go out and get a quick how-to done for you.

If you need anything else let me know.

Flat head screw driver, there are two allen screws (Dark grey, in a world of black plastic ) one will do up down the other will adjust the left right, drop the binnet see where you are repeat until you have them where you want them.
