    Halfords would only sell and fit bulbs. You'd get a new headlight from a motorfactors and they are about the easiest headlights to change.

    Do Halfords even sell headlamps.

    Ah, well yes they would but as above they are probably the easiest bulbs to change on any modern car. One torx head screw and the whole headlight comes out and then the bulb is very easy to change.

    They are very easy to change yourself. If you have the car manual take a look and it gives you a step by step guide. Halfords will do it but charge you for the privilege.

    Woot! This is on our list of cars to upgrade to from the Micra.

    The focus can be daunting at first because the whole headlight had to come out, but as the doc says, it's a fairly straightforward job. I changed an indicator bulb on mine in about 6 minutes.

    The MK2 mondeo is even easier, you just pull out a pin and out comes the headlight.:)

    Unsurprisingly the same design as the Volvo S40/V50. Last generation Fiesta is a bit trickier as the front grill has to be moved slightly.

    Don't forget to press the little retaining clip that's down behind the light,
    it's out of sight on the passenger side, but if you look behind the one on the drivers side it's easier to see.

    Ruled out as it's too 'big' for her. The fecker, I'd love a Mondeo of any sort.
