Remove the black plastic cover at top of engine.

It's located at the extreme forward end of the inlet manifold.
The forward (inlet) end of the EGR valve is connected to the charge-air pipe, (embossed 'turbo-diesel'), with a large-ish diameter hose.

'PM' me with your email address for a drawing - if you're still stuck!

Hang on - you say 'EGR light' ......... ???????

Are you sure you don't mean 'engine management light' (EML)?
I reckon you need to get the car plugged-in and the fault code read before going any further.
