Front headlamp bulb

My offside headlamp bulb blew yesterday.
Can't get my fingers in there so does the front bumper have to come off?
Stupid idea if it has

Access panel in the wheel arch

The screen washer reservoir neck could interfere with access. If so, grab the neck from under the bonnet, turn it anticlockwise a quarter turn and pull. With a bit of luck it will release from the bottle and clear the way.

Maybe on his drive with his arm stuck in the engine bay ? I took my ZT to Halfords and got them to fit the bulbs while I relaxed at the nearby Starbucks.

I can do both in two minutes... Maybe there should be a competition at meets! Would be a very entertaining spectacle!

Sounds like a great idea, I think that you would win easily. Apparently even the Halfords guy had to go and get a 'youf' from the cycle department to do the n/s bulb on mine.
