Hella H4 Headlight Removal

[Miles]

The previous owner of my 72 240Z installed Hella H4 headlights. I need to replace one of the bulbs. Do I have to remove the entire assembly from under the fender or is there a way to pull the headlight from the front?

 

Thanks

From behind, just like stock. I've got these too. Suggest you upgrade with relays if you haven't already - the H4s will burn out the harness and switch.

Yeah, thats one of my pet peeves on the Z, replacing the headlight. Turning the wheel gives you ALMOST enough room to do it depending on your tires and the size of your arm..

Here's a wiring harness that is so simple that you just put ground, power and connect the socket to your current light socket. Uses your light switch to turn on the relays then powers up the lights from the battery. http://www.hyperlights.com/wiring_harness.htm WK-010 is the part number

Any problems fitting the wiring/connectors through the metal canisters that hold the lights? Seems like Blackmagic used a painless kit and had trouble getting the sockets wired through the metal canister behind the light.

 

This kit sounds easier to install then the painles kit.

 

Thanks

Take the time to replace those pathetic phillips screws with allen screws. Everything seems to rust up in there, so coat the screws with something to inhibit rust, like silicone or lithium grease or something. Just my $.02.
