Hi All

First time poster, long time prowler!

Driving a 3 door 2003 Punto Active 1.2 8v. No mods (yet).

I got new headlight bulbs from Halfords and am now considering their 3.50 installation charge.

Driver side is fine. Passenger side is blocked by the fuse / relay box. All I can find here and google is to take off the bumper / loosen the bumper.

Surely changing a bulb isn't this complicated??? Is it?

Is there an easy way to change this bulb that doesn't involve taking off the bumper?

By the way - thanks for your help so far!

i dont think it has to do anything with the bumber.i did it the same way as the drivers side.

undo the headlight bolts the light will move forward a little, although there is enough room to change the bulb without moving anything

Cheers. Will try the bolt tomorrow and let you know how I got on.

Just to let you know, that worked a treat. 3 bolts out, headlight moved forward. No need to touch the bumper.

Cheers.

Quick question: If it were this easy to change a bulb, is it the same method/ease to change the whole light casing for an aftermarket one?
