....errr how do you change the bulb in them?

Undo the screw on the base, remove the front face, unclip the h4 bulb.

Is the screw hidden from view in this photo by the mounting bracket?

I reckoned to look for a screw and couldn't spot one!

Ben; I'm upgrading the bulbs.

Yes it's at the front of the bowl, swivel the mounting back and you should see it. Remove the screw and it will release the rim/glass.

You learn something new every day, I always thought lamps burned coal oil and bulbs were lit by electricity. Huh!

Lamps are bulbs when they are shaped like a bulb, so if you have the old fashioned H4 like below then technically it is a bulb.



However its like to be the modern type so technically just a lamp.
