hey people. i have a problem. one of my sealed beams have blown. apparently i am supposed to have a metal removeable retaining ring that holds the beam in. with mine they seem to be a part of the headlight? can anyone help me out or explain what to do? i bought new head lights that aren't sealed beams. but no i have no way of retaining these.

LOOKING AT THE FRONT OF THE HEAD LIGHT THERE should be 3 little screws holding the light to the holder. you need to loosen them and turn to undo

all sorted now. for some reason mine are weird. they didn't have the retaining ring. it was built into the head lights. maybe on 1L's they're like that? i grabbed a set off a 1.3 at the wreckers. now i'm set. cheers anyway.
