This is my first post here and I feel like a n00b for having to ask. This is my first Mustang and it's only two weeks old. I picked up some Slyvania Silverstar Ultra 9008 H13 halogen bulbs. After coming back from a trip to Arizona, I wanted something a little brighter at night. Grabbed my users manual and it seemed straight forward.
Replacing headlamp bulbs
To remove the headlamp bulb:
1. Make sure headlamp switch is in the off position, then open the hood.
2. Disconnect the electrical
connector from the bulb by
depressing the retainer clip and
pulling rearward.
3. Remove the bulb by rotating it
counterclockwise and pulling it
straight out.
Problem is, there is no electrical connector on the halogen bulb, not in the style that I am used to seeing. There is one on the turn signal bulb which I originally removed because I wasn't paying attention.
Here is a picture of the unit. It has a plastic hex screw at the top but no visible clips or way to remove the bulb within. Spinning the hex screw counter clockwise just seems to rotate the bulb. I don't want to break anything so I figured I'd ask if I'm missing something really stupid.
