Headlight out to change a bulb?..surely not!

[sivrs]

Hi guy's

As per title really.....is this the case? Or is it easier to shift the battery?

Had a quick look at it today while I had a spare 2 mins and found there's not a lot of tool behind the headlight(passenger side) to get my hand in. Also looked at how to remove the unit but seems the bumpers in the way? Surely there's an easier way or a nack to it lol.


Cheers

Can be done but you need hands like a midwife 

Halfords wont change them 

If not bumper off job - takes 5mis though

Bumper off, light out. Bobs your uncle. When you take the bumper off leave the grill attached to the bonnet release ojamflip and then just get someone to give you hand sliding it back on while holding the grill out the way. Or struggle on your own

I found it much easier to just whip the bumper off

100% Much easier to take the bumper.

Pain in the arse I fitted my HIDs other night and in the end had to remove the front bumper which is easy enough but still a pain

Buy a Skoda Octavia    loads of room behind the headlamp even with it being built on the same floorpan.
