    Default LED headlights.

    Fitting TricLED headlight and low beam units to my 2016 RT Ltd UK version. I am having a problem with the left hand low beam unit as it looks like I will have to remove the air duct to get access. Can someone please give me some help as to how to get the duct out as I can't see how it is attached.
    Thanks
    Alan

    remove the 4 push pins holding the left side of the frunk body work on top. This will allow you to pull back the body work far enough to move the duct and get the bulb changed out from above.

    The Euro and Aussie models are a different setup to yours, 40X. We have our low beam where you have your fog lights, and our high beam where you have your dual low/high beams.

    It is tricky getting that cover back on. I found a way that worked pretty good for me but it isn't easy to explain. I'm sure you already have cuts and bruises on your hands they are unavoidable

    Default Success.

    Thanks to all for the replies. Dripping blood on the keyboard as I type this. I got a friend to pull the panel and duct far enough for me to get the cover back on, and then used a long piece of wood and a hammer to engage the catch at the top. I hope the LEDs last as long as advertised as I don't want fit another one there.

    Glad you got the cover on. How did you fit a hammer in there?

    Default Hammer.

    With my strong friend pulling the panel and duct out of the way, I managed to get the cover on but could not push the top catch on. A 3ft. length of broom handle allowed a hammer to
    persuade the top catch to lock, simple.
