    Hey, Has anyone got an idea about how to change the bulb? I can see the plastic case that sits behind the bulb but cant get it off because of a steel bar going accross (If that makes sense)
    Ive checked for online manuels, but no joy.

    Thanks in advance,

    Dan

    Its an 00 model.

    Wife used to have a 98 model - I think its essentially the same car with a facelift. You have to take the headlight unit out of the car to change the bulb!

    Sounds like a fecker of a job I know but its not so bad. Lift the central grill (chrome bit with the badge between the 2 lamps) up out of the car (only held in by 2 clips). You can then see the 3 (I think) screws holding the lamp unit in place. Unscrew these & then you can access the rear of the unit. I think the plastic electrical fittings should come away with a quarter turn.

    That's if its the same as the 98 model - good luck!
