One of my head lights is done. The last time I changed one of these it took about 6 hours and most of the skin on my knuckles. Is there an easy way of getting at these bulbs? Cheers

fuse box side remove fusebox bolts and slide it out the way a bit.

i use a long screw driver to flick plug off bulbs, and flip clip off, then finger tips to remove and replace bulbs, screwdriver again to flick clip back on.

Some garaged will swap a bulb over for free.

or charge around £10-£20 depending on how annoying it is and how fussy they are.

front left bolt often snaps

They aren't nice bolts those ones

Often rusted in and heavily corroded threads

If you have a good young car still - or with few miles
its soo worth while wipping them out
slapping the copper grease on then the local tart does on her rounds and avoid getting it wet....

But yes - its not an easy task - removing the Bumper and lights out is too long and painful too

I find it easier to remove the lights fixing bolts and drop it forward an inch or two. Won't affect the beam height.

You have to be joking?

6 hours to change a bloody bulb
