there should only be one headlight bulb anyway i think (H4 or 472)...

it can be a proper pain in the ar$e to get the clip off...you kinda have to know which bit to push in and across to release it from the retaining hook, and it usually hurts your fingertips to hell (or at least it does mine, but im a wuss). I think if you push the top of the clip in (towards the front of the car) and then try to 'slide' it either left or right (whilst still pushing inwards) it should release. But remember which way it came from coz you have to get it back in again! lol

Unclipped the retaining clip but i cant get the bulb out still. the retaining clip is folded down but i cant get at the bulb.
Why would they make it so hard to change a bulb, im prob doing something wrong.

Looking for haynes manual... :)

:wacko: that is weird!! once the clip holding the back of the bulb is undone the bulb should near enough fall out!! I know this may sound patronising, but its not meant to, but have you taken the wiring plug off the back of the bulb? I guess so if you have got the rubber boot off to get to the clip??
