hello!
i need to replace my bulbs and i know the procedure with the 3 screws and the little plastic flap since i already replaced the right side.
the rubber seal between the headlight assembly (i think thats the problem) has fused with the metal body so bad that i cant with no amount of force remove the assembly.
any help with removing the rubber and a replacement part?
also, i was wondering what bulbs are best for the FD
if it matters, its LHD.

What a coincidence. I took that one off a few minutes ago to check a bulb.
You can undo some more bolts across the front above the radiator to create more safe room, and be sure to disconnect cables before you push too hard.

the headlight is just stuck to the body, i cant take it out, and there is no other way to access the bulbs, all bolts around it and the radiator thing also has been removed
