Probably a silly question guys but I've just bought a 96 GT, which gets more attention than a Ferrari here in the UK!!!

Can anyone tell me if the headlight bulbs come out of the little holder that they are in,or do you buy replacements that come with the plastic holder thing???
Thanks in advance for any replys

The bulbs come out of the headlight assembly.

Yeah just the bulb.

You twist the assembly from the headlight housing and then pull it right out.

When you put the new bulbs in, don't handle them by the glass. Oils from your skin kill the life of those bulbs.

the bulbs just screw and pop out, but if its a us spec model it probably has the crappy cloudy headlights. A upgrade to clear cobra headlight housing is highly recommended. A huge increase in looks and visability. If its not a us spec please post some pics so we can see the difference.

thanks for the replys guys.....it's a bit of a funny shaped bulb for over here....I'll have to try and find some!!
The headlight glass is virtually clear.....standard European spec i guess,but the corners have been converted to amber for the turn signals.
