Default How do you change headlight bulbs on a blobeye?

As subject.

The plastic cap wont come off.

Do I really haveto take the battery out to get at the nearside one?

Is it easier to remove the entire headlight unit?

Mate I think you need to take the entire unit out. If you remove the grill ( it just clicks out ) you can get the headlight out really easily without taking the battery off. Have a look for the article about 'de-tangoing head lights' and the guide talks you through the removal. It's not difficult at all - if I can do it then anyone can !!!

Yes I can confirm easiest way is to remove the headlight once you have the hang of it they will be out in about 5 minutes

The caps are a pain to get on and off, i can do it without removing the lights and battery but expect cut hands
