I havent ordered them yet tbh

When I do, I was just going to order the ones you linked in your original post. I was looking at my lights last night (all be it in the dark) and really cant see how Im going to get the casing off and get the new bulbs in. I also havent looked about for a guide yet, so there will probs be one somewhere (I hope).

think there is a big spring clip on the back of the headlight; push this to one side and remove the cover.

each bulb is held in place by a clip which you pinch together and then pull out towards you

Simple as?

Don't know what I was worreid about :D

Shall take a look today (with a tourch, in the dark, in the cold) and might even get the ordered tonight if it looks nice and simple. Whats all this about side lights? I take it thats the side inidicator bit above the wheel? why would you want to replace that?

Or am I being a spastic? Again.
