Default Bulb change in Cibies

Further to my previous thread about changing foglight bulbs, with some help from Alcazar i have realised that they are Cibies. They are very bright so do appear to be fogs rather than driving lights. They don't appear to have any screws in the front casing so does anyone know how to change the bulbs? Does anyone have the same lamps on theirs? When i do get the bulb out how can i tell whether it is a foglamp or a driving lamp? If its a driving lamp can i wire them into the headlight switch and free up the foglamp switch for some other lights?

The lamps that are on there now, have no obvious screws or clips at the front. They are not bolted to the original subaru mounting points. They have a 2cm black plastic casing around the glass with 2 semicircular notches at the bottom that the glass seems to locate into.

Thanks for your help.

I have Cibie Oscar + lamps and they have a screw holding on the lens and holder at the very bottom of the lamp (on the black lens Holder)

Question

Can you post a pic of the lights? Or have a look on the Demon Tweeks website under Cibies, try and recognise yours, then ring and order a new bulb, and sort of ask them how to change it at the same time?

I've always found Demon Tweeks to be helpful...........
