Yes mate, lovely light & brighter with no garish blue.

Pointing downhill gives better eyeliner to see.
Turn steering wheel fully left for left bulb.
Pull mudguard liner tabs down to release (might want to poke any crud out of them first).
Inner cap twists off.
Disconnect power lead to bulb.
Push bottom of springs forward & with small chisel or similar poke the catches on lower section in towards centre to release(fiddly).
When bulb comes out check whether a flimsy metal cage has come out with it - refit to new bulb in correct orientation if it came out.
Insert new bulb, spend ages fiddling with springs to get to top to hook in.
Push bottom of spring in and poke with chisel to re-engage.
Reconnect power.

I'm sure you're actually just supposed to disengage the top of the clip & have it hinge downwards but access is poor & I didn't want to apply too much force to something I couldn't see!

I'm sure you've tried but I could not find a video online to help.

Found one thread with pictures just this morning, on the main forum under lighting.

How much did the bulbs cost you in the end?

I just copied & pasted the eBay item number t5pilot posted. £100 sheets ish.

And apologies to the OP for totally hijacking his thread trying to sell his OE bulbs.

Speaking of which, if anyone wants any.......

Lol... it's fine, cheers though.

I'm wondering what's coming when I post an air filter for sale...
