Well, it was easier for me to do since I had the VX torn down. All the cladding was disassembled so I was able to just take out the headlights. Bulb swapping is a matter of popping the old one out and sticking the new one in. Just pull out the rubber gasket surrounding the bulb housing, pop off the locking pin on the bulb and ot drops right out. Reverse the process and the new bulb is in place. I never tried with the headlights still mounted so I dont know for sure how tough it is changing bulbs that way. I imagine it is a bit tougher since the battery and airbox cover the rear of the headlights though.
