Before you start, realize that the back of the headlight has to be drilled out. It is not a question of just popping in holders and bulbs. At least in the US models.
When i drilled out the lower holes a lot of the plastic shaving made there way into the inside of the headlight assembly and where a pain to vacuum out.

Yes, I have already thought of that, and think I will have to completely remove the unit, and drill the holes, drilling upward, to keep the shavings from falling into the unit. I also want to install lights in the small area below the headlights, making a total of 4 lights to install. so you have already done this? Did you just do two, or did you put in all four? Any advise?

I know Corsport / Tai Khan / etc on ClubPCX did this with their PCX, you might be able to ask them for guidance.

I'm fairly sure you have to remove the inner cover to get to it, which involves disassembly of most of the scooter. You could at least scope it out by removing the top meter cover -- Eddie shows how to do that here: http://hondapcx.org/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=243

I wish I had a better answer, but scanning and posting enough pages from the manual to show how to get all the way to removal (at least the way they show it in the manual) would probably be considered beyond "fair use."

I just did the bottom 2 and not the turn signals.
Sadly when I finished those I gave up on doing the others.
Just too much work for the return.
Unless you really are adament on doing it yourself.
Good luck.
