Not sure if this is the right place to ask but it's a start, anyone give advice how I get these lights apart don't want to force anything, looking at fitting led bulbs to reduce battery drain.

Thanks

Have you tried gently turning the part with the switch on anticlockwise?

Must be possible, as they are conventional bulbs that will need replacing.

Unscrewing is unlikely to work, as cables will twist. Try that first, then GENTLY try prising apart if that fails. Chances are it is a push fit

But don't blame me

Thanks for the replies had another go and managed to twist them off certainly need changing as the plastic has got very hot with the halogen bulbs.

Excellent news. LEDs will take a hell of a lot less current, 4 watts will be equivalent to 40 watts or better. Less current means less heat.

Careful with your choice of LED replacements, bright white, warm white or blue white Plenty of guidance on the web

Yes I see what you mean there is such a choice

Plenty of choice and also dependant on your own liking to the type of light. Some good cheap buys on ebay (you can buy a few of each type) which are mostly Chinese and much maligned by some but have used them for many a year with no problems.
