  5. For the right side, there is not much room. You will have to work blindly (remember the method for the left side) You can also use a mirror.

yes, the H6W bulb in question is a BAX9S with lugs offset by 30°, i.e. 150° between the 2 lugs.

On the passenger side, it is possible without having to remove the bumper. I validate the mirror to see the location of the lugs before running my fingers through them ?.

I am a fan of LEDs for these night lights because they tend to rattle quite a bit, but above all they look very ugly when you have xenon headlights...

I would like to know if the H6W bulb in question is a BA9S or a BAX9S with lugs and offset axis.

BAX9S (avec ergot décalé) ?
