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.

If you go to   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

My bad, here is the owner manual from the same site. It may show what you need. A Little digging and you can find the servive manual.   Kymco Super 8 Owner's Manual

...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...
