Does anyone know how to remove that O-Ring in your fog light bulb?
Meaning just remove the bulb from it..and put in another bulb of some sort?

it untwists. Lefty loosy righty tighty

Really... D: I've been doing that..and i don't want tobreak the bulb either... Hrm..

William.23 · 12-19-2011, 01:32 AM

Like so?

There's two little metal things in the thing to the far right, looks like they came from the bulb..i'm assuming they should be there so it'll make the next bulb or plasma..get powered correct?

William.23 · 12-19-2011, 05:43 PM

bump and would i do the same for these?
Just the plasma and the wires can be removed as well and put onto the one posted above?

The Stig · 12-19-2011, 05:49 PM

You use the other half of the T-taps to tap into the specified wires

William.23 · 12-19-2011, 05:50 PM

No i know..it's the only pic i have with that but i mean the bulb on this o-ring it won't fit into the fog light, so can i remove the plasma from this o-ring along with the wires and put it into the oem fog light bulb o-ring?

*THE PICTURE IS MISLEADING, TALKING ABOUT THE PLASMA NOT WHERE TO CONNECT THE WIRES /T- TAP *

Oh OK. You don't swap the O-ring. You switch out that whole piece not just the bulb.

William.23 · 12-19-2011, 06:09 PM

What do you mean? Wasn't that what i was referring to, i can remove the plasma / it's connector from it's originial BLACK o-ring and put it onto the oem beige colored one?
Or no..
AAC told me to swap out the O-Rings.

The Stig · 12-19-2011, 07:00 PM

No. I think the O ring thing is just confusing. Ignore it. Just undo the OEM one and plug in the plasma one.

William.23 · 12-19-2011, 07:23 PM

What do you mean plug in the plasma one? To the foglight? If so..it won't fit..it's not an exact fit..it'll click in one one side..and the other one won't making it slanted towards one side.. =/

The Stig · 12-19-2011, 07:30 PM

Yes the plasma. It shouldn't matter but have you tried installing it on the other foglight/DRL? Like if the problem is when you do it on the driver's side, try it on the passengers side.

William.23 · 12-19-2011, 07:35 PM

I've tried it on both fog lights, with both different plasmas..both do the same..it's uneven..and only one side will click in while the other doesn't making it slanted off to one side.

The Stig · 12-19-2011, 07:39 PM

OK, and this is probably a stupid question, well two questions. But is your car a RS? Are your plasmas the P13W plasmas or the 5202 plasmas?
