I have a side light bulb gone but can't work out to get the bulb out... any ideas please? There are two screws on the black outer rim but they seem to just spin, can't feel anything inside.

Its easy, those 2 screws are the adjusters.

To remove the headlamp, after removing the trim ring, look at where the ring securing screw came out of and you will see that it has a slot, unscrew this and the lamp will come out.

and i'd then suggest having your headlamps realigned if you've been adjusting the adjusters!

personally, i'd take out the radio. its the only common link between ignition and lighting. (i think)

if it has been badly wired in, ie lights and ignition wired together, they will back feed, and the light power at the radio will backfeed the ignition and keep it on and running, likewise when vice versa, ignition on will back feed the lights.
