Jay762 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 I had to take the airbox out on mine and also go through the plastic wheel arch - a bit fiddly but nothing technical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbus Posted October 13, 2013 Author Share Posted October 13, 2013 ok,i'll try that, any advice on a bulb upgrade? i only want to do it once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 They are a pain but it's possible to do them from home. I know the pain I hate it when a bulb goes, know what challenge they are to swap :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barbus Posted October 13, 2013 Author Share Posted October 13, 2013 it does seem a bit of a pain considering bulbs are so important. Nice tickle for dealers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
