Yep, exactly what it says, I need a bulb for my headlight (passenger side).
And how the hell do I get the bulb out, it looks like i need o pull out the white bottle thingie first before i can even get at the back of the headlamps

I've seen bulbs inserted from the front, if that's any help

Pulling out the white bottle would be a good start.

Feel your pain, we had to take half the car apart on our VW to change the park light bulb.Car manufacturers are leaving less and less space every year

Try working on boats and jetski, space is very hard to come by even for small jobs

lol radiator overflow bottle. give it a pull upwards and it will slide off a metal bracket. then there is a bulb holder in the back of the unit, twist and pull out, replace bulb and put back in as reverse.

Lada station wagons were well designed in that area.Tail light has to come off and its bolted on.Nuts inside bodyshell.Lada actually include a box spanner in the tool kit.Didn't make it magnetic though so nuts end up somewhere inside the chassis without fail.just one of many odd designs in the motor industry.
My present peeve is concentric clutch slave cylinders on AWD vehicles.Makes a 10 minute job into a 10 hour job - well almost!

might even be an HID type bulb, they are fun

Yeah my 99 Avenir had HID low beams (fortunately never had to change them)
On my Skyline changing them is a bumper off job and they're bloody expensive

About 2004 European law demands that bulb must be replaced without hand tools, as it was getting crazy (bumper off etc)

! You can take the bumper off with hand tools, and I know that is the procedure on a lot of newer cars (even Euros)
e. Ah without hand tools. The rest of the post stands though

Is a 2003 polo.The park light was at a crazy angle up in the high beam light.Had to take the whole light unit (which meant undoing the bumper as well) out to be able to be able to get my hand (and half my arm) into the bloody thing.The worst design ever.
