Howdy,
Im trying to pull out my TW VR-X headlights so i can install some relays etc,but cant find the extra bolt,i undid the two on the front bar under the bonnet and could only find one up under the car,but its still tight,there must be more!! lol
Anyone got a diagram etc or a service manual that can shed some light?

Thanks for this info - I have been trying to find out how to replace my blown headlight bulb - it seems insane to have to take half the car apart to replace a bulb, but I guess that's modern cars for ya.

fixed.
It still sounds easier to me to crash the car and have them replace the globes when they replace the headlights :P

Just maybe,but ive had plenty of practice on my TW VRX,can change all the headlight globes in around 20 mins now,thats both sides,that included battery out,unbolt and move aside fusbox,one of the more stupid designs for sure though!
