There are 3 screws in the rim..the bottom(central) one holds the headlamp onto the wing..the other two are for adjustment

Yes,theyre a straight swap!,mark the screw threads with tippex before you dimantle,to give a guide to headlamp adjustment on re-assembly!

Bulbs readily available from gsf/halfords etc

Whilst i can vouch for the integrity of Tom,who you got the tyres from,Its always worth checking the dot codes on tyres,especially when buying second hand!
