Hey guys, I did a brief search and didn't turn up any good stuff. The How To section is mainly the E.
So does anyone have a how to on the headlight replacement?
Thanks!

Yep, just the bulb.

Easy mate:


1. make sure ignition is off
2. pull wiring socket straight off the headlight. Pull on the socket not by the wire
3. squeeze and pull the rubber cover straight off headlight cover
4. bend the wire that holds the headlight in place out of its latch
5. the headlight is now loose, comes straight out
6. Install a new H4 headlight bulb. Stock power 60/55W. Don't touch the glass bulb with bare hands. bulb only goes in one way.
7. re-apply wire into latch
8. Put rubber boot back on
9. plug socket back in. Push on back of socket to ensure its in firmly.
10. turn ignition on, adjust headlight aiming if required by turning the two adjuster knobs.

Just did it. Took about 3 minutes. I must admit I am a bit embarrassed it was so easy....

changing a turn signal bulb is more work
