How do you unplug the headlights??

s60r · May 15, 2018

It’s driving me mad and I don’t want to damage them....

I can’t for the life of me get them to unlclip! It’s very tight in there and I don’t want to remove the battery or the headlight itself....this is just the plastic plug connector....... anyone done it or know how they come apart please?

I normally unclip the bulb and take out the bulb and connector together. It is then much easier to separate them.

Thanks landmann, I should have said it’s all LED sealed unit.

I ended up removing the battery. Similar to you I was looking for a feed from the side-lights, to power some orange LEDs behind the grill. I couldn't make any sense of the headlight wiring, I measured everything, there are no simple 'on-off' wires, it's all CAN bus'd, I gave up.

Thanks! That saves me a lot of faffing around. If there is no direct 12v feed that comes live with the headlight I won’t bother either!

I’ll see if I get flashed or pulled over! CAN stuff is a real pain to deal with.

The rear lights! Thats about the furthest point away possible to my fogs.... i'll find one in the engine bay. No need to mess with anything expensive just wanting to fly lead off the headlight terminal.

CANbus is rocket science to me as I don't have a clue how it works!

good luck finding one in the engine bay thats linked to the head lights . I thought you couldnt find one so wanted suggestions. Mine isnt as stupid as it sounds as you can route a single cable straight back up the inside of the Chassis to the fogs the rears arent on the CAN.
