B) I changed mine by first removing the black plastic shroud(4 screws).Then taking off the headlamp cover(4 big screws on sides).The bulb is then accessable.A bit fiddly but can be changed.

Yep, its easy to do, as said above

Also, remember to leave ur light switch on the "service" (first notch) setting.

The amount of people who have run up and told me: "ha ha! ur headlights are broke- they're stuck up!"

And the amount of times i've answered "I've only stopped here a minute and left them like that"

Sometimes i take the key out when they're half way down to get the "sleepy celica" effect- must confuse some people that

As back cat said.. it can be a pain if they aint been changed for a while and they are nicely stuck in place!.. lol

while your at it you might as well do both sides, and upgrade bulbs,, I put in superbright xeon bulb from Halfords,,, Made such a difference. There about 12 squids each

The early models did but I have a 94 model and that does't have sealed beams .. But with some cash missing out of your pocket you can replace them... Also today I changed the rear brake light bulb,, If like me you doing it for the first time,,, You need to take the vented bit of the rear lense off. ( put a very small screwdriver between the lense and the vented bit and prise very carefully. underneath are two screws, remove them then take the little small square cover off " which you need the boot open" and there is a screw under there, remove this and the light unit will come away from the car...) I broke my vented bit finding this out...

got it done lads and lassies

after a lot of hassle

i popped the top cover off and just fought the bulb out.

piece of cake
