Never had to do it before on my 9-5 Arc (2004). It is the low beam, driver's side. Sure i was able to follow the manual:
1. remove battery cover to improve access
2. remove plastic cover
3. push, then twist the metal "V" clip and remove
4. remove blown lamp
5. insert new lamp
BUT - how do I get that metal clip back in ? I dont get it, the new lamp is still loose. I have a bad back and 20 minutes of trying was as much as I could bear.
Impossible to see how the clip works - where do the ends belong ? Do they get squeezed together and inserted within the lamp housing ? And how is the rest of the clip held in place ? I cannot see how, nor does the manual explain it.
THANKS for any help on this one....I really tried.
