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 easy when you know how really

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

thank you very much for that much appreciated gonna give it a go on monday at work wish me luck i thought easy service items like bulbs were supposed to be made so any joe blogs could do it they may as well have put the fixing screw for the headlight inside the fuel tank and made it really easy

How many WR1 (or ex WR1) owners does it take to change a light bulb? ... 3 Pasty to spanner, Bro and Dan to admire each others dresses and ask if there "bums look big in this"
