Hi - haven't attempted changing the bulb yet but just need advice on how to get at it without scratching/ breaking the housing or bumper. Oh, and is it the 501 bulb?
Thanks for any help offered
Bill

Thin plastic trim tool is best and it just pulls up and off, easy enough to just get a finger nail under each end and gently pull. Its not overly tight.

Like the man said the whole light just pulls out it is sort of spring loaded so may need to push slightly to one side or other and pull it out at same time. I changed mine for L.E.D brighter light less power.

Ditto, fitted a super bright LED from Horizon LED
