Hi guys need a little bit of help,

need to change the dip beam on my s2 only i've forgotten my handbook at work and can't remember what it said! i've taken the wheel off and undone the two bolts but i can't seem to take the lense out, do i need to remove the seal first?

You need to undo the three round bolts (the ones with the big ends in the wheelarch) The third is tucked behind a bit of liner, but you can remove it with a large flat head screwdriver). Feel around in the wheel arch, you will find it, they are all within 6 inches of each other. After that, it is really easy - old bulb out, new bulb in) Dip is the top one.

77 foot pounds iirc. I will find a pic of the bolts. I did it by feel in the dark and it wasn't a problem.
