OK I've now had enough......I have 2 replacement PIAA bulbs but for the life of me can't seem to get the bloody lenses off my driving lights to fit them. You can all take the pi55 if you want....I don't care just someone help me PLEASE !!!!!!!

Pull the lights forward and then loosen the 2 cross head screws either side and gently pry the lens out.

I was looking at this with Mike when he first picked up his bulbs on Saturday - the lamps don't seem to lean forward far enough to give access to the screw nearest the centre of the car - no way we could get a screwdriver to it that I could see without removing a load of paint from the front bumper.... What are we doing wrong ?

They are accessible but they it is tight. The lights will move up and down fairly easily which may help access.

Oh you will need a bit of sellotape to hold the screw retaining clips in place once the light is apart. when you tighten them back up remember to make sure the light is tight into the metal back cup other wise water will get in. The best way if it is damp etc is to turn the lights on for a couple of minutes after you've replaced the bulbs whilst they are out of the back cups. Once they've cooled down a bit pop them back in!

Good luck
