i dont know about a 180 headlight but it cant be much different to any other car pop your bonnet look at the back off the head light and you should see a plug attached to it pull the plug off and the robber boot and now you should be able to see the back of the globe just remove the metal clip that holds the globe in place pull the globe out and then put in the new globe and put every thing back together

it's a lot more involving wif the 180's pop ups..
Firstly the rubber boot u mentioned are nearly impossible to hold onto properly..
Pop the lights up..
And unscrew the popup cover...
I can't remember if u have to remove the black plastic around the lights..
After that it's just a matter of pull the rubber boot off..
There should be a little tab on the boot to make removal easier...

Thanks for the replies guys.

Was able to eventually figure out how it was done. (helps when you have a spare headlight in the parts bin :) )
