Don't know if you'r aware but the black box type thing behind the drivers side headlight can be removed from it's bracket to give you a bit more room to get you'r hand in.
Just did mine & it made it so much easier, just lift it from the bracket, it's held in by plastic lug type things & move it to the side. Now have osram nightbreakers & the osram matching side light bulbs fitted. Anyone close to Harrogate thats wants a hand please call round. :happy2:

That black box thingy is a charcoal filter or something like that,
I did my bulbs with it still in place (hurt though)

On the passenger side I've got a Twintake intake to deal with!:

i just tried to get the drivers one out and it wouldnt F...ing budge! hurt like hell trying! iv done it before on my old one, but this one wont move!

That's what i thought when replacing my sidelight bulbs,
Keep trying, Get as good a grip as you can and the holder will eventually come out,
No pain No gain :signLOL:
-
i hated changing sidelights. Still don't understand why, when the dipped and indicators are so easy, are the mains and sidelights are so difficult.

is that a crack in the lens i see!
