    If you look online though you'll also find videos and how too's telling you it takes the guts of an hour to change a renault megane headlight bulb......a 1-2min job at most when you know what your doing.

    Little cover under the arch + **** covered arm = Bulb changed.

    My audi headlights slide right out - Godsend. One plastic cover, then 3 bolts holding the light unit with one electrical connection. Less than 5 mins all back together.

    My Focus Mark 2 is straightforward enough as well thank god.... The main headlight unit just unscrews and comes out in one piece. Can change a headlight bulb in a few minutes...

    One of my spot lights at lower bumper level has just gone though... It looks like it might be a bit tricky though..

    Take the headlight out and stick your hand down through the gap.

    When one of the the side bulbs on my Accord appeared less bright, I got both changed with Halfords. Before going to Halfords, I had read up on usual Honda forums, and everyone said it's a lot of work, you need to peel back the lining from under the wheel arch, and you may break a few pins etc. The Halford guy knew exactly what would happen if he peel the lining back, and he with some skill managed it by somehow getting his hand thru the smaller gaps from under the bonnet. Cost me big three quid, and less than five minutes - I couldn't be happier to be honest.

    PS: Honda dealer changed them again at next service, and amongst other things like a routine service and an air filter, they charged me over €350 for the pleasure! That just shows the value of Halfords service.

    I just pop the covers off the back of my lights :D Or the fogs pop out with a screwdriver.
