Headlight bulb replacement

Last weekend I noticed the citylight was broken in the headlight. Clearly that would be a MOT fail. I had a quick look and couldn't figure out how the headlight was mounted. The headlight needed to be taken out as there is no other way to replace the bulb. Clever.

So I had the manual checked to see how this is done:


So yes, remove the chrome trim first, easy. Then you will see at left side there is a black clip, with two "clips" / "levers". With a screw driver you can push them aside and it will release the spring holder. So don't touch the screws that holds the mechanism.



Same story at the bottom side of the headlight:


And then the headlight comes out (it's also held at a third holder at the right but that one you don't need to unclip - you can't reach it either):







As the shop was closed late afternoon I will get the bulbs next weekend and get both headlights done.
