Im not even gonna deny it! It was pikey as foook! But they sent me the wrong bulbs and i wasn't going to put myself through all the stress of getting the damn headlights out again just to change a bulb on either side they work though and thats the main thing!

I reckon you can easily do it yourself just take your time it's not something you can screw up! Maybe if you were completely stupid (I don't think you are ) haha! Tbh the hardest bit is actually getting the headlight out! It's childsplay after that

I had the headlight out the other day, took the indicator bulb out, poked around in there. Looked simple enough just mind the wires!
I will do it on a Saturday when I'm not working I promise lol
I see what you mean that you have to push the orange disc out. Break it with long cutters and shake the bits out. Interesting whoever came up with this way of doing it. Kind of smart lol

this is the exact reason why im not confident in doing it!

anything with break, cutters and shake in one sentence will not work out to plan with me!

Well if I was going to fitp I'd gladly help you out with it Stason but I'm not I'll def be going next year though! As for you Andrew just hang your head in shame and go sit on the naughty step! All joking aside though it's really not that hard to do I think when people hear they have to break out the reflector they're just put off altogether and don't bother. Its really not that hard when you know how
