headlight unit has a plug for the headlights, locate it unscrew it [the actual plug just twist it to loosen] take out old one [do not touch the glass] and insert new one [do not touch the glass] place back in test it.. done

EK1, dont need to unscrew anything, there is a metal clip that works like a baby pin that holds the globe in. take off the rubber at the back and then unclip and the globe just comes out

Raztaz is correct.

from the engine bay, unplug the electric plug from the bulb, then take out the black rubber seal, and the bulb comes out easily.

on left side of ek1, you'll need to remove the power-steering bottle to make some room.

that bottle slides up and u can unclip the hose (bottom of it) to make it easier

I seriously didn't know you could slide the power steering bottle up and away... I use to jam my hand in use my free hand to pass the bulb to my wedged-in hand then change it that way... shoulda seen all the cuts and missing skin... LoL
