Drivers side but probably as good for passenger : Its not easy with the screen wash bottle filler too close to the back of the headlamp unit unless you've got very small hands and can work by feel. I've got big hands so here's the option. There are four plastic studs behind the bonnet catch that hold the grille to the front cross member. Take these out. Remove the two screws with a 'torx' driver from the grille at the bottom corners of the headlamp units and then CAREFULLY detach the plastic clips where the front grille meets the wing. You cant see them but a good careful tug does it. Dont break the grille !! Undo the three bolts - 10mm socket - that hold the headlamp unit in place (one behind the unit nearest the wing, one visible on top of the crossmember and one bottom corner underneath that needs a short extension) Remove the entire headlamp unit as far as you can without stretching the wires, push the big plastic catch down to remove the back cover and reveal the bulbs. Disconnet the power supply socket. Make sure its the correct bulb, outer bulb is headlamp, inner bulb is main beam. Push the end of the wire clip in and sideways to allow it to swing away and let the old bulb out. DONT touch the glass of the new one as the grease in your skin will create tension on the glass and can blow it again when it gets hot. Get the lug on the bulb in the correct orientation to locate it properly. Clip the wire clip back on making sure it is secure, replace the power socket and then the plastic cover with its seal. Replace everything else in the reverse order particularly pushing the plastic clips into the wing before replacing the grille securing screws. Took me 15-20 mins last night. Easy job !!
