Default how do you remove the auto leveling motor from the stock housings...

i installed my euros over the weekend. i tried to remove the auto leveling motor from my stock housings by pulling on it. i didnt see any screws or clips holding it in. i also didnt want to pull too hard so i wouldnt break it. so how exactly do you remove it?

Default Yeah. And rotate the pin toward the back of the housing as you pull. It also helps to move the hou

sing, that is where the light would be focused, in the all the way down position to reinsert. Just pry upwards lightly on the low beam bulb housing to do so.

Default Turn highbeamlevel adjustment screw all the way CC. Then, pivot the motor housing 45 degrees up

from the bottom of the housing to unseat the plastic fasteners similar to the blinker light housing. When the motor housing is unseated, push the greenball to the bottom of the light housing throgh the slot in the housing and it pops free. Practice a similar procedure on the dummy plugs of the Euros to get familiar.

BE PATIENT!!! Removing is easier than putting it back in the Euro housings...
