Hi there,

 

Yes, a nightmare they are but not impossible.

 

Dip Beam (ie the round ones on the outside):

Take the plastic ring and rubber cover off.

Disconnect the wiring loom from the bulb.

The bulb is held in with a spring clip which needs to be undone before you can take the bulb out.

Reassemble in reverse order

 

High/Main Beam (ie the rectangular ones on the inside):

Take the plastic ring and rubber cover off.

Disconnect the wiring loom connector (this is a PITA job as it's difficult to get to but have patience)

The bulb is held in with a spring clip. You need to press the two metal ends together and pull the get the bulb out. The bulb will now be held in the assembly you've just pulled out.

Reassemble in reverse order.

 

I find that the Main Beam bulb is most difficult to get to as there are wiring looms, etc in the way. Perseverance will get you there but I have known people to take out their headlights to get to the bulbs. Taking the headlights out is another BIG PITA job ... so don't go down that route if you don't have to.

 

Hope this has helped somewhat.

 

Good luck.
