changing bulbs

Post by martyb »

Right I had to change a bulb the other day on the passenger side lamp.

To get my hand in the gap I had to remove the airbox and get in that way.

Its left me wondering though for drivers side with screenwash tank right behind the headlamp,

Is there an easier way of getting into the bulbs that im just missing?

Seen about removing the screws that keep it in place is that the easier method?

That is another way, I think it will take just as long.

Remove the headlamp unit...Should be 4 screws. Just make sure you note / mark the position of the inserts the screws fit into so your headlight positioning is retained.
