    Easy to change mate 477 or h7 bulb you want.Unscrew cap, pull off connector on back of bulb.Then look for the tab push in and unclip from holder, the holder folds back.Don't touch the glass on new one.

    Very easy and updated my bulbs when fitting my track fairing. Worth putting a food bulb in there

    This late in the growing season I'd be thinking fennel perhaps ?

    Remember though, if you're using vegetable matter to run the front you will get too much current to the rear so you may want to replace the oe tail light with these, think demonic tweeks would do them :D

    One of mine blew when I put it back after a track day. Heard good things about osram nightbreakers so bought a pair.

    I tried a set off e-bay. £2.80 for 2. £1 delivery. Now, if I get a quarter of the use from one of these as I got from the OEM one (12000 miles and constantly on) then I,ll be a happy chappy

    Cheers all
