I created this PDF for you to show the procedure

Removing Engine Fuse Panel

Take a photograph of the connections at the front to make sure they go back in the same place  :smiley:

mike wonderful mate thanks a million.  can't say I feel at ease in doing this, will probably try to loosen the headlight a bit to avoid all this tussle with wires, but if everything else fails then ...

I removed the airbox on mine

no that doesn't cut it.  removing the airbox only frees space to replace the signal bulb, not the headlight one.  That is blocked by that fuse box... anyone else??

Wow! Sorry for trying to help  :angry:
