This week’s How-To article walks you through the whole process of changing out the HID bulb on the C6 Corvette. It also offers some things to keep in mind through the various steps involved. In the C4 Corvette, an individual has to physically pull the knob that turns on the lights, and then push it back in roughly half way in order to stop the rotation of the headlamp assembly. Then you have to unscrew four different bolts, and remove the cover housing. Then you have access to the port to the light bulb. Not an easy task, but it still may be a touch easier than the C6.
