Replacing Front Head Lamps

Just a quick note to let you know (although most probably already do) that you can reach the front headlamps through hatches in both front wheel wells...very clever! I found it easier to turn the wheels all the way to the right or left.

I know..."hatches" does sound funny! Get down and look under the wheel well of both sides of the front of the car. You will see a square-shaped cover on both sides that, when removed, gives you access to the lights.

I used the long end of a thin allen-wrench. I had to replace a headlamp bulb and while I was contorting my hand to do so, I noticed the little cover on the whhel well. I wondered why it should be there . When I needed to replace the turn signal bulb, I knew I coudn't fit my hand in that corner (try it!) so I decided to chance it and see what would happen if I removed the little cover. Imagine my relief when I took it off and the back of the bulbs (actually their covers) were exposed
