Removing Headlights

Can anyone tell me what I should do with this last white wire here in the attached picture please? I am trying to remove my headlights but I can't see in there properly and don't want to just yank it out like the wire next to it in case the fittings are different. It seems that the fitting on that bulb is different to all the others on the car!! Any help please??

:think: I just unplug mine, undo the nuts and they come out - I dont have to do any of the above ( I think :)).

 

If you pull that lead you will be left with a broken foglight. You need to either remove the bulb as detailed above or pull at the connection from inside the cover that goes over the back of the light. If you choose the 2nd option you run the risk of snapping the terminal, it's best and easiest to just remove the bulb.

Sorry but now I have another problem! One of the bulbs doesn't seem to fit in like it did in the old unit. I have attached 3 pics to show the problem. Basically the new lights seem to have a little metal bit stopping the bulb from fitting in... shown at the bottom of the pic here. It says the word "lock" right next to the bit of metal blocking it. Any ideas now????

You want to buy the UK spec bulbs bud. I can't remember exactly but I remember something like H9006 as opposed to H9005 or something like that.

 

The 9005 jspecs will fit in the UK glass lights, takes a little bit of playing to get them in though. Try unscrewing the 3 screws around the bulb holder on the light, don't remove them completely just loosen them off a bit then try again with the bulbs.
