It is kind of a pain in the but to do. The front shroud has to come off. there are 6 Phillips head screws on the driver side of the fairing. A little wiggling will remove the shroud. You will then see the screws that mount the lenses.

Forgot to mention 2 more near the "air scoops" on the outside of the fairing

If you go to   http://www.stadiumyamaha.com/pages/parts/viewbybrand/default.aspx (http://www.stadiumyamaha.com/pages/parts/viewbybrand/default.aspx)   They have an exploded parts diagram that you can use, or hunt around for the service manual on line. I lost the link I had for manuals, but will try to help find 1 for you. Stadium yamaha is also where I would get the bulbs if you don't have a source

...yeah, you need the SERVICE MANUAL, as opposed to a drivers manual...

..They are way different, and sometimes the service manuals can be hard to locate...

I'll give it a shot with surf canyon. I will never quit riding 50cc scoots. They are just too much fun. My first 1 was a 64-65 vespa when I was 14. Wish I had that 1 today. I bent the front end on a curb racing my buddies hodaka ace 90.

Hi im from the philippines.

here's HOW TO REMOVE THE FRONT COVER
To remove the front panel. remove the two screws
(http://images.timogrider.multiply.com/image/1/photos/3/600x600/1/1.JPG?et=6aWF6IRvoA4ZQDFrCiiQzA&nmid=296071575)

Once the front panel is remove.

remove the rubber cap of the headlight(behind)
Note: the buld has a clip before you can remoe it, you may use a small mirror to see how you can unclip it
that is where you will use your magic figer and to figure it out to loosen the clip.

You can also go in underneath to get to the bulbs... you have a tight fit either way though.

The service-manual is here. http://scootergrisen.dk/scooterhjemmeside/download/kymco_super8_servicemanual.pdf (http://scootergrisen.dk/scooterhjemmeside/download/kymco_super8_servicemanual.pdf)

The part list is also nice to have. http://scootergrisen.dk/scooterhjemmeside/download/kymco_super8_reservedele.pdf (http://scootergrisen.dk/scooterhjemmeside/download/kymco_super8_reservedele.pdf)

These are for the 50 but most things are the same.
