Default Blob eye, low beam, h1 swap

What's the easiest way to swap the bulbs?

Do I need to remove the headlight or can it be done with out removing?

What's your manual say?

Rule of thumb: the more modern the car is, the more difficult it will have been made to change things like bulbs......

Classics: easy, Bugeye: getting harder. etc.

True, errrmm not looked in all honesty.

Often with a lot of things in the manual, people have found an easier/quicker way by now.

Easiest way is to take it to Halfords!

If you want to do it yourself, it's not that hard, but a bit fiddly. To get at the rear of the headlamp assembly on the passenger side, it helps to loosen and move the battery back a bit. For the driver's side, you need to take off the air channel thing, 10mm spanner IIRC.

Then just undo the back cover, pop the retaining clip out of the way, remove the connector and hoik the bulb out.

Its eaiser to take the lights out! 1) remove grill. 2) Take bolt out and two more bolts on top. 3) Pull headlight towards you... Win!

These are not hard cars to change the bulbs on trust me. Some cars you have to remove the front wheels and arch liners
