headlight removal

[Middo]

my dipped beam has totally given up on me, and it looks like bits of filament in the bottom of the two bulbs.

cant get to the drivers side bulb holder, so do i need to remove the headlight?
also how difficult is it to do?

its a mk2 ph2 (halogen bulbs)

Think you need to take the bumper off there is two bolt at the bottom and one at the top

you don't have to remove the headlight to change the bulb (as long as you have little b**ch hands!)

^^ freds right, u dont have to take the light out.

get someone with small hands to pull the bulb out, i managed to get mine changed and i have huuge hands lol

to change the lamp itself u need to remove bumper, but for just a bulb its not worth it!

thanks for the replies.

i managed to get the bulb out, and luckily my girlfriend was about who has tinnnny hands who managed to get it back into position. i then ripped my hands to shreds on the air conditioning pipes when twisting it back into place.

anybody got any ideas on why both bulbs went at the same time?
