From the pictures posted earlier in the thread it looks pretty obvious that it is the front cap that needs removing.

Inside i can only see the bulb that powers the highbeam???

The clips on the back of this bulb do not match up with the clips on the Lux

Please help

Thanks
In the US model there is no separate High Beam bulb, and I am guessing it is the same in Australia. There is only one Xenon bulb for both high and normal beam.

Even though it seems that there are two projector lamps in the headlight assembly the inner one drives the Halos. The interesting bit of engineering is that the bulb does not emit light to the front but sideways into the Halo optical channel (it is essentially a very thick fiber optic cable). This same channel wraps around the Xenon as well. So if you take out the bulb and it is not Xenon it is the one driving the Angel Eyes.
