If it's anything like the earlier models there is usually another screw down at the bottom of the headlight on the inner corner. On :link: PartSouq Auto Parts Around the World it lists quantity of retaining screws as 4. Does it not show you how to replace the bulbs in the owners handbook, in the maintenance section?

Looks to be more space on the PD than what was available on the previous GD model :undecided: I managed to install LED's without removing the light housings.

no, the user manual doesn't explain how to unmount the headlight complete unit.

yes, it would be nice,  but it seems diffucult to remove the original bulbs , put the led and adjust, as you can see in the picture, so i prefer to have the headlamp out.

I looked in the handbook for my GD and it's not much use. It tells you to remove the headlamp fixings but doesn't provide a drawing to show where they are. In the 4 years I've owned it I've never taken a headlamp out because none of the bulbs have failed.

The FD I had before regularly blew headlamp bulbs, so I became quite familiar with removing the headlamp.
