Rough estimate of time taken for Clio 197 headlight change?

Hi guys,

I understand it's a bumper off job etc. (I haven't got little hands, more like a pack of 5 Walls Sausages).

How long roughly does it take to have the bumper off and headlight out to replace the bulb?

Cheers

His method looks a lot more painful than just removing the bumper. Didn't know arch liners need to come off though.

It takes all of 10mins to get the bumper shield off (wheels off, arch liners off) and a further 5mins to take a light off and put it back again.

Drive to me Lee I will do it with you, takes me all of 30 mins for both sides. Arch liners DON'T need to come off to remove bumper, just undo the two screws at the front, at the bottom of the arch liner that join the arch to the bumper. IMO, even in my 1.2 it was a nightmare to change my headlight bulbs without removing the bumper, so I'd just take the bumper off IMO. Like I said, if you can be bothered to drive I'll do it for/with you.
