One of my sidelight bulbs were out and I browsed through the forum to see how to change the sidelight bulbs because looking at the engine bay, the left hand side was plenty of space but the right hand side has the windscreen washer bottle andnpower steering fluid bottle and it looked like a right nightmare.

So I read through the forum and people were saying squeeze your hand in, take the headlight cover off, take the front bumper off and then take the headlight out just for the bulbs on the right hand of the engine bay.

Anyway an easier way, just in case everyone isn't aware of this because I only found it out last night because I thought I would have to take the front bumper off(!), is this:

You have the top of the windscreen washer bottle and to the left of that os the power steering fluid reservoir. The power steering reservoir unclips from its holder and you can lift the bottle up out of the way giving you good access to the back of the headlight. I found that you can 'rest' the bottom of the power steering fluid reservoir on top of the clip/braclet that hplds it in place.

I hope people find this useful. Will upload pics when my phone is charged.
