Technical So I tried to replace my passenger side main beam

[ahmednuaman]

And after reading the great technical guide I've managed to get the bulb out, change it, but now getting it back in and fixed into position is an issue.

I'm not sure if I've broken the supporting clips but they don't hold the bulb in as secure as the ones on the driver's side, the side I haven't touched/broken.

I'm wondering if a) I've broken them and should replace them (if so, can anyone recommend a seller?) or b) I'm just being silly and haven't put them back properly yet.

So I can't seem to post any links to the pictures or video yet, but I've taken shots from the front (comparing to the driver's side, the bit I haven't broken, and from the inside/back).

Hopefully it's a quick, trivial fix, thanks for looking!

Ok so I managed to fix it. What I had to do was get the jack out and prop up the car so that I could get better access to the inspection area. I took out the brace and just bent it back slightly so it was a tighter fit. Good as new now!

I’ve just experienced the same scenario.
After skinning various knuckles, took the wheels off & straightened the clips.
No more wobbly bulbs?

Did you cable tie the inner wheel arch guard in place(the square one)? I've lost 3 of them in the past.
