   if you want to replace the dipped bulb, i believe its the outer ones if you look at the back of the unit you can see 2 caps, the bulbs are inside there, as say is the outer cap on mine just pops off should be wires going into it if remember rightly

   wire shit as in a clip sorter thing?
   the bulb is defo under that cap theres like a clip that holds it in which looks like abit of bent wire, it latches under a lip sorter think if you press it the clip will move and the bulb is under that

    Thanks to all that helped me. I checked the other unit and found that the one with the blown bulb is actually broken, rather than me being a complete spastic. So yeh, thanks to everyone thats helped me, will now have to find another way to get into it.
