I need to replace a headlamp and side light on my Alphard 2nd gen 2008 model.

I’ve got the manual in English and it suggests rotating the bulb housing and pulling it out.

I can rotate this housing but it doesn’t come out. When I try to pull it feels like the whole housing comes back. I don’t want to force it and break something. Does anybody know what I could be doing wrong. Thanks

If you're turning the cylinder that sticks out, with markings on it, that's NOT the bit you need.

Look through the front of the lens, and gauge from there where the back of the bulb you are wanting is, the cover will be over that bit.

I can't take a pic for you just now, sorry!

The headlamp cover is like a side dish.

I'll take a photo
