Turn the steering wheel on full lock so if its the O/S bulb you want to change turn the wheel full left lock.

Once this is done look up inside the of the wheel arch splash panle and you'll see a flap.

Unclip the flap and you have access to the back of the headlamp.

If you think thats an arse some of the new Renaults give you two hours to change the buld on the headlamps.

Oh and don't forget to turn the engine off before shoving your hand in there also have a look in the handbook if you have one as i'm sure is cover in there
Cheers

Thought there was an EU law that user changable bulbs have to be doable at side of road in 15 mins :o

(which is probably why Audi say all bulbs are a dealer task!!)
