Corbs said:Ok, you dont need to take the headlight out to replace the bulb. Around the back of the headlight there should be a round rubber plug where the bulb is. remove this, then unclip the metal clip - dont force it, it should just spring off easily, then take out the bulb and unscrew it - should be a 'bayonet' fitting. Screw in the new bulb and test, then re-assemble!
Hope you get it now!

Do the headlights come on or not, if not you just need a bulb, which is a 2 min fix @ most, but if you`ve broken the big glass bit, A) they`re not cheap (unless you know where to look) & B) they can sometimes be a swine to get off.
On a side note, I thought you had to know the basics of car maintenance (which fluids go where, how to change bulbs etc.) to pass you test nowadays?
I passed 16 years ago :feint: , before all this theory stuff came in!

Almera Guy said:Sorry mate, didn`t mean any offence. :O
It`s just that I was doing cars with my dad since I was about 6, so was a little `surprised` by your lack of knowledge.
Also, "knowing how to change a bulb isn`t required to pass your test" :feint:
That should be @ the very top of the list, `cos if that`s not a safety issue, (they`re there for you to see & be seen) then I don`t know what the hell is!
Sorry (again) rant over!
