Is there a secret to changing the sidelight bulbs on a C5?
The handbook is useless in that it tells you how to change the bulb, (simple) but omits to say that you can't actually get your fingers on it. There is a bolt on top of the > headlight assembly which, if removed, makes the whole thing fairly loose and it looks as though it ought to be possible to pull it forward (there's enough slack in the wiring to allow that) but I haven't the courage to tug it too hard in case I do irreparable damage. That's what you have to do with the rear light assemblies however so I wonder..............?
What's the secret? Having just spent nearly £50 to have a garage change a sidelight I'd like to know. I find it hard to believe that a car could be designed so
that it's nearly impossible to reach a simple bulb.

I don't . it's French.
I compared the ease of changing bulbs on a Mark3 Fiesta with a Saxo/106. No contest.
Or brakelight bulbs.
or brake pads
Or almost anything.
French car design is great in many things but maintenance friendly it is largely NOT.
