Ok, just a quick guide for those who are unsure and fancy the swap or have to do it for emergency reasons.

Things you will need-
-Small hands (mine are pretty big and got a few cuts because of it).
-A small flat head screwdriver.
-A set of bulbs. I used some eBay jobbies and they work fine search for WY21W Diadem bulbs.

This will take approximately 10 minutes.


1.
Pop the bonnet and disconnect your battery.

2.
Remove the clips on the front trim with the screwdriver, be careful as the trim is easy to dent and the clips are quite flimsy.

3.
Locate the long tabs which should be furthest in from the wing on your headlights, once found twist counter clockwise and gently remove, exploring an orange bulb, swap with your replacement (be it clear or Amber) and replace.

4-6. Once done for both bulbs simply reverse the process. This is a very easy job, and don't be scared as, providing you are turning the tabs the right way on the bulb holer, you won't break anything.

Enjoy your strange glowing bulb whilst it not illuminated! For the record these bulbs glow amber not a weird rainbow :mrgreen:

Safety note:
Make sure you test your indicators before you hit the road!
