Hi,

I ordered a pair of D1S Xenon bulbs off of eBay at 6000K color temperature just to play around, but no clue how to remove the OEM bulbs!

I remove the dust guard, and remove the connector, but I cannot twist the bulb/ballast at all and it will not come out on its own. I pulled up a 2011 Mini Cooper xenon bulb removal video, and it shows to remove a wire clip and then pull the bulb, but my car's headlight bulbs does not have these clips. Any advice?

 

Never mind, it is in fact push to twist, just needed a firm hand.

Here is a garbage picture that I took, I just couldn't find an angle that didn't produce massive glare from the headlights. Driver's side is the 6000K bulb and passenger side is the OEM 4300K Osram bulb. Can't see in this picture but the 6000K bulb looks really slick...matches the OEM LED fog lights really well and has a nice ice white/blue color to it.

I'm going to drive around at night soon and see how I like the illumination. If I dig them, I will order a quality pair of 6000K bulbs.
