Bit extreme bumper removal to replace a bulb, is the asd susp tank on rubber hoses ie can you unbolt it and lift it away just enough to get clearance.
The bulb itself is a doddle to change once you get the silly yellow ring twisted off.

I have heard a rumour that a certain Citroen model must have the bumper removed to replace bulbs.

We also have a Rover 75 at home, beautiful car, to replace headlamp bulbs you have to remove a panel on the wheel arch liner and thread a double jointed four universal jointed arm through to repalce the bulb. Easier if you taker the wheel off....... or else just buy the replacement bulbs in Halfords and sit back while they fit for free . . . . in half an hour...
