It is just held in place by a large grey plastic locking wheel. Take this right off the theaded bolt and you can just ease the reflector out. Remember to pull the wiring conector off. New one slides straight in. Straight forward. |

To get to the drivers side, you will have to lift the washer bottle up and out of the way. |

Yep. I think with the left hand one it is easier to access if you undo the fastening on the window washer bottle so you can lift it up. Just the plastic threaded bolt on the top

the offside one can be quite awkward to get your hand in, if you have non-slender hands like me remove the back headlight cover. When you put them back in make sure the little clippy bits engage with the side of the front of the headlight. It really isnt rocket science, dead easy, but they are the 2 minor points. Hey, why not take pics and do a write up ? |

What kentronix said, did mine without moving the washer bottle, you do need a long nose pliers |
