Headlight Bulb Install - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I have the Winjet headlight and a bulb died. I replaced it but the output was horrible. It turns out I hadn't installed it well. Before attaching the retaining cup, I can't get the bulb to stay, orb"lock," in place. What gives? Which direction should the nub on the H7 point?

if you can't figure out how to match 3 knobs from the base of the head light bulb to the 3 knobs to the headlight socket, you should just ask someone else to do it for you. srs

I believe your thinking on an h11 bulb. As for h7 It should only go one way. I don't have the winjets so I can't confirm

Issues resolved: the retainer around the bulb was bent so it wouldn't sit flush.
