there's the how-2 for getting in at the headlamp bulbs..

I am guessing this is much easier on a standard pre facelift ?

[Gsi3.2]

it certainly is...you can get in much easier on the pre-facelift...it's a bit of a fiddle on the drivers side, but you can hold a dance behind the passengers side lamp..

push the holder in and click it to one side and it will flip out

[slugo]

so it will be the reverse when fitting push in and it should click in?

[sig63]

yes, was easy, given the fact that you can't see a thing
(I used a flashlight and a small mirror to 'exercise')
