Is it a cut the back off and mess around for hours type job?

Easy Peasy, screws out sealant cut adjust beams re-seal with Dow Corning sillicone add small sachet silica gel for good measure.

Of course you could go the whole hog and convert from H7 to HID, miles better and getting a lot more affordable now.

Cheers. I shall have another look in better light. Didn't see the screws at first due to the massive amounts of sealant on them....
