It's a lot easier if you drop the front bumper off!

was alot easier than i remembered!, just took the plastic cover from the front panel (2 screws), then undid the clip removes the lamp unit cover , unclipped the bulb and swapped, nice and easy... i remember peeps used to say you had to remove the bumper before but i dont see any reason why youd need to?? all done anyway...
