This topic has been aired many times here. I have found the way to change the dipped beam bulbs is to have a pair of long nosed pliers, a flat headed screwdriver and a 10mm spanner. The offside bulb remove the cover by pressing downward on the tab on the cover to rotate it. Note its position and carefully bend the filler tube of the screenwash reservoir back a little to allow the cover to come off. Pry off the connector with the screwdriver and unfasten the spring retainer. Lift out the bulb with the pliers. Fitting the new bulb is a reversal of the above. On the nearside it is easier to remove the Battery clamp with the spanner and lift the Battery a littlet to the left to allow room for your hand. If the light beams are too low lft them by unscrewing the plastic hexagon nut on the side of the unit.
