its quicker to take the headlight out if all the heads on the air filter box are rusted or you dont have the right tool
be aware a headlamp bracket locates into the inner wing so it needs to pulled (the headlight) towards the radiator before it pulls out
headlight bulb is slightly different to what you will expect by the way so be warned
