1) Unscrew the plastic rim on outside that holds the rubber boot sealeing the bulb opening.

2) Move rubber boot back

3) Remove the harness socket from bulb

4) Release the spring clip securing the bulb ( I use longnose pliers to move the tip of locking tab towards the bulb body )

5) Remove the bulb

6) Assembly in reverse order

Unscrew the three small screws at the back of the light to remove the cover. Pull off the rubber seal, push the retaining clips in at the bulb connector and pull the wire connector off the bulb. There is a wire clip holding the bulb in. Hold the end of the wire with the curl on it and push inwards then unhook it from the housing. Easy, really, put some light on it so you can see what to do.

The stock bulbs are 35 watt. There is a selection of H4 car bulbs which are 65 watt and give off much more light.

OK they might be brighter but how much heat do they throw? if putting in the bigger bulbs!

They are called Xentec h4 bulbs. They are an automotive type bulb. I have them installed but i had to do a lil of my own engineering to make it work. I hope no water gets to the bulbs! I put a bunch of silicone on the rubber covers. They wont get to hot because of the ballast that come with the kit. Ill try them out tonight
