ok thanks mate and how easy is it just to change the headlight bulbs is it just a case of unscrewing the holder swapping bulbs and twisting the holder back in? or is there backing cover and sh!t?

depends which bulbs you're changing and how big your hands are!!

the dipped and main beam are held in with clips
sidelights twist out IIRC

it can be easier and quicker to remove the bumper and the headlight unit itself

I changed my bulbs today for some phillips ones.
First time I've taken the bumper off, found real easy.  In all took me about an hour.

I changed my bulbs for Philips ones, I also got some free blue side lights, which just give off the same colour as the Philips ones.  Perfectly legal, and look great!  I had to take my bumper off too.
