Hello chaps, i've noticed that one of the main beam headlight lenses has been broken, i have also got to change one of the side light bulbs, how difficult are these to do for someone who has got little or no patience at all.

If really need patience and a sense of humour when messing around with the front lights. Access is via removable panels in the front inner wings, after removing the main bonnet, but it´s a bit restricted and quite easy to cut your hands to shreds on the surrounding fibreglass edges.

I found the dip and main beam relatively easy ish, but the sidelight I could not do, as each time I tried to pull the rubber surround off, it would move the whole sidelight unit as it is bonded in, and as I was only replaced the bulbs with some free brighter ones I got when I bought some brighter xenon bulbs, I did not change them as I did not want to have to re-bond it in.
