I'm trying to replace the headlamp and im sure its very simple but i just
can't see how to take the old lamp out. I've popped the casing out by pushing
the wires back but that's as far as i've managed to get. Can anyone help me
out!

Thanks

The lamp is held in with a wire clip normally. Release the wire clip from
the two catches and then it should swing out.

Thanks for the reply, i managed to get the lamp to swing out but i wasnt sure
how to get the actual bulb out, does it have anything to do with the rubber
at the back??

If you are talking about a rubber cup then the bulb is behind that, just
unplug the connector, remove the rubber cup and then you will get to the
bulb.

The rubber cup can be a pain to get on and off, unless you have very small
hands.
