Headlight bulb change

[TSL 333]

Is it easy to change the n/s (passenger side) headlight bulb; what needs to come out first?

Had a bit of a hangover on Sunday when I was going to change it so it looked harder than it was!!

you'll need to remove the air duct thats screwed in and maybe the battery cover depending on how big your manly hands are

other than that, its easy!

As above, very very easy to do

what about the sidelights, ne easy way of changing them?

Yes pull them hard and they pop out.

But do not pull the wires for the sidelight connectors... I used needle nose plyers, bit fidley but managed it, the sidelight ones are sometimes stuck well in if they havent been changed in a while. If you look at how to do the drivers side where theres more room to see before you attempt the drivers side it may give you a better idea?

While on the subject can anyone tell me what bulb I need for a full beam lamp?

Just had to check this thread!

Tried pulling but they're proper wedged in!

So i wondered if they were twist lock ones., just pulled on them with some pliers!
