headlight bulbs.. can they be changed without removing bumper??

[The Dave]

Typically ones popped tonight and I have my MOT on thurs, working all week too so is there a quick/easyish method to try without taking the bumper off? It's the one on the passenger side which has gone but I guess it makes sense to change both to something better...

But it's just a lack of time to get it done... any tips? Search really wasn't much use lol keeps coming back with no results?!

Get someone with small hands to change it for you 

[Devilz]

do let me know if you find any as i'm after changing bulbs as well

I'm gonna nip halfords tomorrow as ones over the road from work, I aint keen... but if they do it 6 quid a bulb they can do cuz I aint got the time to rip bumpers off lol

Will let you know if I see owt else on me travels for a quick easy guide

seek and ye shall find and its very very easy, i did it in 5 mins, the hardest part is unclipping the bulb, this is done by pushing the clip forwards and to the left which worked for me

halfrauds wont do it...just to warn you...they want to remove the air filter and the works to get to it and say its something like £40...missus went in without asking me and told em to bugger off.  It is a bugger to do but is possible if you take your time like peeps have said.

Man up and get a torch and get out there and change it!

get the bumper off easiest and quickest way its only a handfull of T20/25 torx bits and washer caps off (if fitted) easier than fecking your hands up
