I find it easy enough if you remove the wheel then you can stick your head under to see what's going on, I've never been able to do it by feel alone.
Also, open the bonnet as it lets more light in. |

Bulb holder is a twist in bayonet fit unlike the hellish spring clip on earlier ones.

I find it easier with a mirror on a stick style gadget and a torch as you can see what you’re doing

I actually had a bulb go last week and I decided to fit a pair of Phillips uprated bulbs. I fitted em just a couple of days ago.
VERY easy, no need to remove the wheels, just turn the wheels to full lock. Full left for the drivers side and full right for the passenger side. Open the bonnet for a bit more light, grab and twist slightly and out they come. Did both in about 10 to 15 mins.
