price for a headlight bulb change?

[cassshman]

I recently got caught by the police for a faulty headlight as the drivers side light bulb was blown. i was wondering how much would it cost to get it replaced? i have heard some garages charge alot for the labour like £100 for 30mins! and the bulb itself only costing a few pounds. you know how much would it be in a renault garage?

On mine (172 Cup)
Take round rubber cover off back of the light (just pulls off)
Twist bulb holder (the black plastic thing) and it just comes away.
Pull out old bulb.
Push in new bulb
Put bulb holder back and twist to secure
Push back on rubber cover.

Job done. Can be done in under two minutes...

All in your owners hand book too!

If it's on your Grande, then it should be an easy 2 minute job. Its some of the later Clio's it becomes a bit more of a skin-off-knuckles kinda job!

Most car shops will probably fit the bulb for you when you buy it, especially if you give one of them a couple of £

At Halfords its costs like £3 extra to get them to fit it.

{Edit} What does.. "'I'm new to all of this"... new to what exactly? You can change a bulb in your lounge if that goes bang can't you? Same principle - just slightly smaller.
