Just got mine today......forgive my idiot thinking but can I change them myself...?

Are details of how to do in the handbook...?

Thanks
 
Very easy. Pop the bonnet and look at the back of the headlight you will see a round rubber cover take this of and you will see a flat piece of plastic if you twist it the bulb comes out in its holder. Remove don't touch the bulbs with your hands use so kitchen roll or something like that
Replace with your new build push back into the holder and twist it helps if you look through the headlight then replace rubber cap :thumb its as easy as that 5 min job
 
Good description kev I thought I was going to struggle with mine but found it easy
Mine had a battery cover to remove as well but it was only two plastic screws
Much brighter when picking the wife up at night
 
Thanks for that.....just looked at the handbook which refers to bulbs for both dipped and full beam.....which do I replace...?

Thanks
 
You change the dipped beam the one on the outside of the headlight
 
David, I have removed the bulb holder assembly, by twisting and pulling out.
The bulb seems firmly fixed to the holder and looks like one piece. How do you separate them?

If it looks like this you have removed the wrong bulb its the other one

Nice photos. So the lamp pushes into the holder.

Yes it does rob try not to touch the glass part with your hand as the grease from your hand can shorten the life of the bulb I use kitchen roll :thumb
 
Mission accomplished.
Not too bad, had to borrow a makeup mirror to see what I was doing though.

Thanks for the help.
