    Halfords may sell and fit it.
    I'm sure any garage with a mechanic would fit it for free.
    If you get stuck ill fit it for you.

    Halfords will screw you over, I'd just order it on ebay for like £2 or something and put it in yourself - it's very easy.

    A motor factors way better. Got 3 bulbs for €8. Also easiest thing that can be done is changing a bulb

    Guys in the garage in Coolmine industrial estate did mine. Halfords wouldn't touch it

    Thought Halfords had a charge for fitting bulbs?

    Got the bulbs in Halford... wee bit expensive in the end...

    6.99 for fitting... 9 quid for the bulb... but meh, considering I left it to the last minute before a long trip away.. i had to get it in the end...

    Discount Tyres in Ballycoolin will supply and fit the bulb from 5-10 euro. Too late for the OP but one to remember. Only takes a few mins too...

    Some cars are very tricky to swap bulbs. Others very easy. It should be obvious from the owner handbook.

    To change the headlights on my Citroen C4 requires you to have the dexterity of a keyhole surgeon. They should only be sold to gynecologists.

    The rear lights are a complete mystery. I tried for several hours to figure out how to even reach the buggers.

    I used to service my own cars and I have a science degree. Surely this should be enough for Citroen?

    I mean, Jesus.

    I had one bulb fitted in my Focus last week at Halfords, a tenner for a bulb and €14 to fit. More fool me for paying I guess!
