Pete Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Nothing. It's a very easy job. Take off the wiring and three bolts and withdraw from front. Just mind the paint work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbm Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 (edited) To be honest a buffoon could do this (I should know)...so if it's a mate??? Free. If you were a trader, that may be different.

den1 Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 As a matter of interest I will be changing my yellowing J-spec headlights for U.K. ones soon...after the new glass ones have been fitted don't I have to take it to a garage for them to be re-aligned as the lights will be shining all over the place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Change the lights, then set them up to line up with your marks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 It would be worth taking it to a friendly MOT tester, as I did, just to get them to adjust them to maximum legal height. Cost me a fiver, if that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
