does anyone know of a user guide to replacing a blown headlamp bulb for an s2 Exige (04)?

Cheers

Not sure of a guide but its pretty straight forward. It is easier if you remove the wheel, but I think it can be done with the wheel in situ. Remove the wheel arch lining, 2 plastic screw at the bottom and a self tapper at the top. Once this has been removed you have access to the back of the headlamp unit.

.... then undo the standard hex bolts (10mm) x2 IIRC. Then the front light cover will come off.

Can be done with wheel in situ on standard suspension and full lock.
