swoping the head lights over is quite an easy job, the first bolt is on the top as u open the bonnet, the second is on the side near where the grill would be if it was shut, and the third and most anoying! is located under the eye lid thingy at the bottem, which just clips off, but be careful there a lil fragile

once all bolts are off, just unplug the wires and "gently" pull it out, best way is try not to brake anything lol

hope this helps!

this is asuming you have a mk 2 saxo

exactly like that and be careful with the trim at the bottom of the headlight

also were did you get them from mate and are they proper ultra ones as i had to seal mine when i got them off ebay

If your fitting them yourself once they are in pop round to your local MoT station and have them checked as you dont want to be pointin them up into space.

Haynes is a good investment for the DIY Hero or ANYONE who owns France's best made hatch back :-) Take alook on eBay bargins to be had there, Don't just give your hard erned cash to Mr Halfords

Just incase, I had to take my headlight mask off. its just 3 clips, one beneath headlight point, 2 to the side of the car.

Went straight on and off. Couldn't get my sodding headlights out without taking this off
