#313 of 342 HELP #2 with H7s by psu3 Apr 24, 2008 (1:39 pm)
Hi all again,   I've previously described my inability to get my Ultras installed. I could not get the entire light assembly out. I tried to understand the process and only remove the bulbs directly. Still, no luck. I look at the lights with the screw in cap removed (upside down of course) and still not figure out how to remove the bulbs. The lights look like those in Picture B in the manual where it describes bulb replacement. A thorough process description of bulb replacement would greatly be appreciated. Thanks in advance!!   Steve Replies to this message: allmet33 (Apr 25, 2008 6:07 am)
#314 of 342 Removed Headlight by prairiedog1 Apr 24, 2008 (8:15 pm)
After reading this page I went out and eventually managed to remove the headlight assembly. I removed the nut on the inside then the 2 bolts on top as the Owners Manual shows but it still would not come free so I took out the 4 screws on the top plastic piece that the 2 bolts we attached to. I still had a hard time, but I was patient and just wiggled it a few times gently and it came out. I found that in mine the low beams are the H 11b bulbs. When I put the assembly back in I found that there is a clip on the fender side that the light has to fit into, this is what caused the problem taking it out. A short part of the light assembly fits between two pieces on the body of the car and these fit very snuggly together. Replacement was very easy once I saw where the fit in the bracket.

Replying to: psu3 (Apr 24, 2008 1:39 pm) There is a spring clip that you have to locate that keeps the bulb in place. You press it down (or towards the front of the headlight) then push it down (towards the ground) to create clearance of the lip it hooks onto. Swing the entire clip up (towardst he engine) and the bulb will come out and all you'll have to do is remove the bulb from the harness. Make a note of how the bulb is in the harness (there's a tab that sticks out on the flat edge of the bulb flange). Also, make sure you do NOT touch the bulb with your fingers (if you do, wipe it off really well with a clean cloth).   Once you get the bulb in place, the tricky part of working the clip back into place becomes a little test of patience. I say this because the wires for the harness tend to get in the way. So...be patient and work the wires around so you can put the clip back in place to hold the bulb in place and once you're done, screw the dust cap in place and you're done.
#316 of 342 H11b by psu3 Apr 26, 2008 (8:46 am)
Well I finally got the light assembly out (after much struggling) and to my surprise the low beams are H11b not H7. Back to the drawing board.   BTW If your low beam looks like the one in picture B (in the manual where its explaining replacement process) its the H11b.   Steve

Replying to: rgb42 (Apr 10, 2008 12:03 pm) Sorry - I've been on leave for a couple of weeks and not paying attention...   Daniel Stern states that there are 3 different configurations - but what I have is H11b low beams, H7 high beams and H8 fog lamps. I put the "OSRAM Rallye" 2100 lumen H9 burner on H7 base bulbs in my high beams - otherwise, I'm good. Replies to this message: allmet33 (Apr 29, 2008 9:41 am) ratledge (May 03, 2008 6:12 am)

Replying to: ratledge (Apr 28, 2008 11:09 am) Ratledge...   Ummmmmmmmmmmm...how did you put an H9 bulb where an H7 bulb should go?   As far as the bulbs go, I'm starting to think that the '06 Azeras were the only ones that use the H7 bulb as the low-beam bulb.

#319 of 342 Re: For anyone interested [allmet33] by wamba2000 Apr 29, 2008 (2:36 pm)
Replying to: allmet33 (Apr 16, 2008 6:49 am) I ordered the Philips Xtreme Power for my '08 Santa Fe and they work well. I replaced the stock bulkbs in my wife's Azera with PIAA bulbs. I have used the Silverstars int eh past, my my last set burned out/filed within 8 months of installation. So far the PIAAs have been going for 2 years.   The Phillips Xtreme are supposed to be 80 % brighter. I didn't do a test , but I do see the sides of the highway better in the dark. YOu can find them online, best to get the size you need and google shopping will help you search.   Good luck to all
#320 of 342 Silverstar ultras by 144tap May 02, 2008 (7:37 am)
My local Kragens had the Silverstar ultras on sale w/a rebate. So I replaced the Philips X/T's with the ultras, not much difference......except for price. I did put the X/T's in my KIA Sedona. Now that job required me to R&R the lite housing,easily done. The kids,(18,16,14), didn't notice much difference in the OEM's vs X/T's. So, heck with it, I still don't like the "cut off". On another note, Mike, what other things did you have in mind to do to your Zerra before putting in HID's?

Replying to: allmet33 (Apr 29, 2008 9:41 am) Well, you cheat: use the "OSRAM Ralleye" 65watt part: Here   It's a 2100 lumen lamp mounted on the H7 base. You may well be right about the H7 low beams being only in '06 models, but I seem to remember somebody saying it was "slipstreamed" in mid-'07 models...

I have a 2006 Azera and both Hi and Low use H7's Wards.
