1. Take off front grill, there about 5/6 plastic clips, but be careful very fragile and remove grill !
2. There are 5/6 plastic poppers on the bumper , screwdriver under the centre section and prise up and remove, then pull the bumper away slightly from the car !
3. A white clip/bracket attach to the headlight, (again fragile) on with a 10mm bolt remove plus the 2 bolts on the top of the headlight assembly
4. Your headlight is now held on with 2 clips on the innerwing so again gently prise the headlight away from the car, just enough to get you hand in and twist the side light bulb out and replace !
5. Follow in reverse order to put together again !

6. Take it to a dealer and let them do it ! its a 10 minutes job for someone who knows what ther doing and a couple of hours if they dont !
Plus you may break the grill clips and the white headlight bracket !

Hope this helps,done 1 of mine last week :roll: easy when you know how really :wink:

No doubt Marky Mark will come along and give us GPS co-ordinates for the bolts if the car is parked in Rusholme.
