Got one of these

on a s/h bike but I can't find my way into it to change the bulb ect.
Anyone know how?

Is that the sort with a set screw at the back of the reflector - undo
the screw then the reflector/lens unscrews with a bayonet action?

No its not got any obvious screws in the unit except one self tapper but
that doesn't seem to have any function!!

That's the sort of thing I'm talking about - did you try taking it out
and twisting/pulling bits to see if anything comes off?

That's how you open it. Remove the self tapper and the front will pull off.
A bit crude, but not a bad light.

Thanks chaps.
Its only the "glass" bit that comes out and I was tryng to get the rim
off..................silly me!!

The info above was helpful to me, but I'd like to add one piece of advice:
To get the glass off, push a small screwdriver through the hole where you removed the screw.
In that way you can push the glass slightly out, so you can get a grip on it.
