Changing headlight Bulbs

[Morganic]

I want to change the stock bulbs for some Osram Night Breakers.
How easy is it?

It's pretty easy but beware that the bulbs for the Beach are different to the SE.

The Beach is a combined headlight and mainbeam and is an H4. For the SE it is an H7.

On the Beach you just push down on the spring that holds the bulb in place. I found it easier to get it out by first disconnecting the socket. It's a bit fiddly but nowhere near as space constrained as on my wife's SAAB.

Don't know if you've bought the bulbs already but I've just fitted some Philipsextreme bulbs.
Fitting is tricky and I'd recommend wearing latex gloves(stop you accidentally touching the bulb), driver side is the more difficult one to switch. If you have big hands be careful.
As for the Philips bulbs they made a big difference, whiter light and longer beam.
