Got some.....
 

Hi Brads

I have some of these bulbs.... I waited to see if a whole bunch would respond first so I would not look so stupid.....

For the love of God I cannot remove the bulb from the reflector.

I have a few NOS bulbs in the reflector but to date have not been able to remove said bulb without risking breaking something...

Can someone give me a clue...????

I really didn't try to hard to get them out in one piece. However if I had I might have saved myself some grief later when I bought new bulbs. I couldn't get the dam things to work, I tried testing and sanding the ends and measureing the depth to make sure the contacts went deep enough but it was an embarasingly long time before I figured out that the contacts in the receptical were 90 degrees of centre to thecontacts on the bulb!
I couldn't get any other bulbs so I heated up the solder on the mounting ring of the bulb, quickly rotated it 90 degrees andquenched it, worked about 1/2 the time without iether screwing up iether the high or low beam on a bulb. Cheers Bob and all. I don;t know when I'll get back East again, any body coming out to Vancouver for work or pleasure in the Future?

Still clueless.....
 

Hi Harry

To many things on the go to travel West although I am over due to visit my daughter in Langley..... but may save the $$ to fly her home when Mom passes away..... she has been rotting away slowly for the last 5 months with bowel cancer...... there is something to be said about being run over by a bus leaving the pub and dying in dignity!!!!

I don't want to break the bulbs or the reflectors...... I tried squeezing the spring sides on the bulb but can't seem to twist it at the same time...... maybe a need a third hand and will wait for Rob's visit.......
