I'm tempted to do mine... Looks very easy and the difference is awesome! Good simple guide to follow but I will probably use either a heat gun or a hair dryer... The oven stuff scares me a little

Excellent guide(s) here, somone had broken the adjuster on my off side headlamp anyway so needed an excuse to get this done. People, don't worry about MOT / legality of this. As long as the reflector is not touched nor the lamp shroud its fine. For those who have removed the shroud or painted the reflector it depends how lazy the MOT tester is whether they notice. Same goes for the old bill, depends how knowledgeable or picky they are. But I would only advise painting the surround.

on the pics, the guy has removed the reflector, do you have to take the reflector out at anytime or does it just stay in its position, even if i take the surround out?

Did anyone else have to take off the bumper to get the bottom bolt off the light?

I can't get the bottom bolt off. I've tried everything, the bumper just sits half an inch too high to get in.
