Headlight bulbs

[DevilDamo]

My mate has just bought some upgraded (Xenon) main/full beam headlight bulbs. He had a few issues with the nearside ones but it was a complete different kettle of fish when he went to change the offside ones. Now... is there an easy or more simple way of changing the bulbs bearing in mind the tiny space and pipes behind the cluster?

Nobody know how to change their headlight bulbs?

Bumper off, headlight out. This is a 172 right?

Yes, it's a 172. So are you saying the bumper needs to come off in order to change the offside bulb? Hmmm.

Not if you've seen how tight the xenons are!

or ppl with small hands

kullycliosport... I agree. The nearside is ok (just). But it's a complete different story when you look behind the offside headlight. Talk about making the small things practical... not. The last thing I/my mate wants to do is take the car to a Renault dealer for them to replace a bulb.

Agreed...

Renault will charge 1hour labour minimum, meaning £80 plus vat!

Its not as daunting as it sounds though tbh, I could have it off in about ten minutes including jacking the car up! Its only about 6 bolts and a few screws.
