Hi all,

Im interested in doing the above as ive seen a lot of people on here have done and it looks the nuts, just wondering what exactly im to do and is it a tough job as im no mechanic but i can say i know my way around most parts of a car...maybe with the help of a manual....gotta start somewhere??/

Cheers lads and ladies

I had no problems at all Jonnie, just push the orange dome into the headlight and snip away with the log nosed pliers.

PM me if any more info. is needed, but you'll be fine :)

Long nose pliers or snips works well, just take it easy and be careful not to scratch the silver headlamp surface. Well worth the effort. The only thing is once you push the orange bulb cover off there is only one way to go... finish the job.

Yep, just break them up small enough to come out of the bulb hole :thumb:
