I have just been charged £47.00 to supply and fit a front headlamp bulb on a Megane.

not a swindle is it, I very much doubt Halfords would remove a bumper and fit a headlight bulb for £15
I have a Citroen C5. On my model the bulb alone costs about £80 and you do indeed need to drop the bumper to fit one. The only good thing is the bulb lasts for ages. 1 in two years so far.
I thought they were able to multi-task!
It's one of the things that there ought to be legislation about. The ability to change a car bulbs easily is essential maintenance. The harder it is to do the more people will just drive around without bothering to change them for as long s they can get away with. I can just about change the ones on my astra but it normally costs me most of the skin on my knuckles as the gap is only just big enough to get my hand in. Bastard car manufacturers.
Legislation on the changing of light bulbs
Sure, I was looking for a thread to illustrate my witty post #49 here http://nortr3nixy.nimpr.uk/showt...a-light-bulb&p=4478369&highlight=#post4478369 . I got interested in the subject and couldn't resist the 'multi-tasking' jibe, but I didn't expect the thread to take off again!er @Nottseagull care to explain why you bounced a 2 year old thread?
Did it myself (renault megane) a couple of weeks ago. Bulb cost £9 (ish). You can access the headlamp compartment through the fron wheel arch. Turn your wheel inwards, feel in the wheel arch for a panel which can be easily removed. Once removed you can access the headlamp compartment by unscrewing the protective cap. Once unscrewed you can then access all bulbs. It's a little bit fiddly but it can be done. This was the first time I tried it and it took about 10 mins. Reckon I can get that down to 3-4 after practice. It saved me a lot of money!
