Help Changing Headlight Bulb please :(

[Si_5]

Um, My headlight bulb has gone and I aint got a Hanes manual to hand. Could someone please tell me or even if it aint too much hassle, take a pic of what I need to do. Thanks.

One last thing the plastic arch bit in the front of the arch, do you need to take the wheel off to get that back in if it no longer is in there?

And where is the cheapest place to get these two parts?

Thanks, my clio is a mk1 rsi M reg.

Do this then replace the bulb !! Piece of piss TBH mate

You do not need to remove your headlight to change the bulbs, they are a piece of piss mate, only a 5 min job maximum!

Remove the plastic bulb cover, pull the plugs off of the main light bulb and then remove the metal spring loaded clip that fits over the bulb and just remove it!

replace in the oposite order!!

********Do Not Touch The Bulb********

Just do sections 3 and 4 of the above!!

Bit difficult to change it without touching it!! Try not touching the glass.

Thanks again lads.

The inner arch is the just the black plastic between the front bumper and wheel, so Renault or Scrappies only then ?

Would a rear one fit>?

Cheers
