Fleebay seems cheapest option for the uk.. but make sure you get the right type of bulb, I think LCI models have a different bulb

Head light removal is easy.. its 4 Torx screws two on top of the headlight that you remove and two towards the back that you loosen to allow you to slide the head light out (takes a bit of wiggling) it out

have a look http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15ght75I-mo

Thanks for the info. I've got an LCI model so will have to do some research into which bulbs will be suitable for that. Cheers.

Nice mod, and indeed there is no need to remove the headlight to change the bulb. Once u know where to put the bulb you can change the 2 bulbs in 10 mins.

looks great, did you have any alignment issues when by removing the headlights?

No I took reference photos just in case before starting the job and marked the screw positions before removing the headlights.. but to be honest its easy enough to ensure they go back in exactly as before.

I checked the alignment after and its fine...
