Any tips for removing headlight bulbs in ST215 caldina?

I've only really had a quick go in the dark, but seems there's all sorts of things in the way.

Anybody got any tips, especially for the drivers side?

Most modern cars i've worked on have been a pain to swap them. Just move things out the way and squash your hand in half to fit in the gap. Doing it with day light will solve most of your problems.

There should be two big rubber caps for each headlight. Pry them off - your fingernails should be enough - then stick a mirror down there or take a picture with a phone. Yup, sounds stupid and anal, but each bulb is held in place by a wire bracket (bulked up paperclip hinged one side and fits into a catch on the other side), and the bulb has to go in a particular way. Took me bloody ages to get that right! lol

From memory at this point there should be a plug that clips into the back of the plug - it's a bitch to pull out as you have to crook your wrist. (it was sooo much easier with the curren... )

Once unplugged, un-catch the wire frame, pull out the bulb, replace, put everything back (using pic / memory of frame & catch) and that should sort it...

Done it a few times on my brother's GT-T and from memory you have to remove the air duct for the alternator to replace the driver's side bulb as the duct is in the way. Easy to do though and allows you to swap over the bulbs with a lot more ease. The rest of the job is just fiddly. Just don't bend the little wire clip by forcing it and you'll be sweet
