Its a tight fit but everything can be changed with out removing the battery or anything expect the the bulb covers. Its not a easy job and i have the scars on my hands to prove it.

headlights are not too bad to change if u got small hands like me or if not get the kids involved

no need to remove the battery,

if you remove the headlights you will need to have them realigned, (makes it possibly worth shredding your hands to save some cash)

Much easyer to just remove the battery though..

i saw on some threads before some guys here remove the front bumper and headlights

i guess the germens never thought about replacing bulbs
how do i remove the battery
? step by step if possible

My independant dealer did it(without removing the battery).He had bother with it being so tight,so he went into the workshop and came back with a long screwdriver- and used that to do something.Seemed to work as the bulb was replaced in no time.
Sorry i don't know what he moved with it,i couldn't see what he was doing.

Did my sidelights, indicators and dipped beam all without removing anything, apart from cover on the back of the lights.

The offside is easy enough, the nearside however is a bit of a pain to get the metal clip back over the rear of the light.

What I ended up doing was putting a cable tie around the middle of the metal clip and doing the cable tie right up. Then you can use the tail of the cable tie to pull the clip back over the cover after its on.
