That's proper advice right there, I'd just finished putting mine back together after straightening my front sybframe, and the next day one of the bulbs blew, and I had to basically take it all apart again. Imagine my joy.

You might well find some water in the wiring loom, it's alarming but it's not really a problem, just drain it out. Your local halfords will sell an aerosol silicon grease for electrical parts, that's what you want for the plugs.

TBH if you've managed to get the front off and refit it, it'll be a walk in the park, it's just like making lego
