Changing Headlight Bulbs

I have one headlight and one sidelight bulbs gone on my S2 Exige, one on either side and am told it can be tricky to change them. Does anyone have any sensible advice on how to change the bulbs please?

Thanks,

Ken.

I changed my headlight bulbs (Fitted HID kit) at the weekend.

It is a pain. Jack up side, wheel off, liner out. Undo 3 phillips head screws (plastic) that holder the wheelarch liner in place.

Then 3 allen bolts to undo, which allows the cover to come off and then access to the bulbs... prob 20mins a side (allowing for jacking time etc)

You might as well fit the HID kit when you are in there, its amazing the difference (have photos of before and after which I will get round to posting, only phone pics but they show the difference).

Hope that helps.

For bulbs I think people on here have recommended the Halfords rally bulbs.

For HID kit I got one from http://www.elise-shop.nl but as part of a group buy on SELOC.

They are really nicely made kits compared to some ebay ones, but they are a bit pricier, the HID kits my bro has fitted in the past were cheaper but had no support if something blew. Pays your money etc.

I will upload the pics in a minute and add them to this thread...
