well, this may seem silly. Most headlight bulb changes i've done are mostly just twist and pull. and i found out that on my skyline, the passenger side headlight bulb is burnt out and i tried taking it out but it won't even budge

i have the projector style headlights. theres some sort of cap that i could twist off right? and there's a gasket underneath it? well i took that out and the gasket is still on there so i don't know what's really the next step.. if anyone could provide some help that'd be greatly appreciated! thanks =)

theres a copper coated bracket that doesnt looks attached to the bulb but it is....there is 2 screws on either side of the bul that are over top of the bracket....take those out and careful cuz its kind of spring loaded....should solve your issue

thanks for the reply

i actually figured it out not too long ago after i posted xD it's weird how one side is a H1 and the other side is a H7

not sure if it's been previously modified or if it was originally like that..

Kind of surprised me too, didn't know one was different from the other.

yeah it's weird.. i went to go get new bulbs and i asked them if they could sell them seperately, instead of 2 in a set. the people were confused too! he says he's done headlights on skylines before and neither side are different.. but on my car, the passenger side has a H1 and the driverside uses a H3C lol

maybe i could just get another h1 adapter and replace the H3C one and also cut the wires and replace that with a H1 plug? i think im gonna go HID, what do you guys think of it?

that should work, replacing the H3C with a H1. HID's are pree nice, just dont get pulled for it.
