    not sure but with some renaults bumper removal is needed and possibly wheel guard.

    bulb changes on a megane are ackward having to get access in under wing through flap and i remove wheelgard to get more ease.

    bulbs would not be covered under warranty but one of the most problems with bulb replacement is not been fitted correctly and light going astray.car makers are so stuck up with designs of car they forget the simplest of things ease of changing bulbs at the side of road,no wonder many cars at night are not seen due to bulb failure.

    I am almost sure it's only two screws and lift the tab holding the unit in it all slides out so you can remove the bulb. It wasn't hard on my sisters 11 anyway just abit fiddly

    It's very simple & straightforward, all the info is in the owners handbook, the tool required should be in the boot

    Three torque screws have to be removed, headlamp unit will then move forward allowing easy access to change bulb, push lamp unit back into place, replace three screws, sorted, shouldn't take more than 15mins, start to finish

    Good shout. Got it done. Was in the right track but didn't want to yank the headlight bracket out so didn't the first time.

    All sorted though so thanks.

    bumper removal to change a bulb? I don't know whether to laugh or cry mate. French engineering must be failing and falling considerably.
