to change the headlight globes is easy. Pull off the rubber seal, and unhook the bulb from the clip. Cleaning the headlight is another story.

here are the pictures..

see how theres cabling and wires or whatever it is all over it..

i dont even know what they're for..

The 3 wires going to the back of the rubber boot are the headlight wires.

There is a black harness that they are connected to that sits inside the boot, which is connected to the globe.

Pull the harness out and remove the rubber boot.

Now there will be a clip that is holding the globe in. Release the clip and remove the globe. The globe can only fit one way so you wont have any dramas putting the one in.

Hope this helps.

If you can't get it from the back remove the indicator and undo the bolts holding the headlight in and remove the whole unit, replace globes and replace, I did it the other day and althogh awkward can be done in about 5mins from the back.

man its easy. Takes a few mins max.

Pull off the rubber cover, unhook the clip, slide out the globe. If you got a gsr manual it tells you how. I could photocopy it i guess.
