The guide to removing the bumper is here:

The light are then only held in with three bolts I think it is and they will lift out. Obviously there are cables attached to light em up, just un-plug these, and hey presto, the rabbits out the hat :? Sorry light is out the car. Yeah , that's it!
The only reason for the bumper removal is because there is one bolt on the underside of the light, but Chewy changed his by loosening the bumper and letting it drop forward, but not off, and then removing the underneat headlamp bolt. It's up to you.
It's quicker just loosening the bumper, but easier if it's out of the way.
Personally, if you are not 100% sure/confident, I would suggest you remove your bumper before your mate gets there, and have a look at how it all goes together. When he gets there, just loosen your mates bumper for the swop out.

I thought that as well mate but there is an old couple down the street from me with a facelift C and that has your lights. It certainly doesn't look like an SXi or an SRi and I doubt they paid for the HID's.
Will check next time they tootle past! :)
like i say it could be the design.they just look like a standard one with a few extrza bits..corsav it may have them in you know how they swap models about

There is no auction at present but I emailed them to see if they could supply them and they came back with a price.
MM was this a one off price, or do you reckon there'd be enuff to go round?

Iasked if they could supply these headlights and they came back with the price so I assume that's there normal price as opposed to a one off.
