Dude, it is a fault on renaults design, don't go to a renault dealer because you will pay through the nose ( they do have to take the bumper off), Don't go to Motorsave ( robbing gits). Take Kingfishers advise, and go to Halfords. No-body has hands that small or that long, except maybe ET.

Take it into Halfords when I had my Megane I too was like you took it to Halfords did it for a couple of quid. Less hassle and saves you breaking the headlamp casing. Chap I spoke to said a Jag Owner brought his in and he broken the bulb mount £300 later it becomes an expensive bulb.

Cheers Eveyone For Replys,i Decided To Have Another Go,the Easiest Way Is To Take The Wheel Off So You Can Get Into Wheel Arch Open Your Bonnet So It Gives You A Bit More Light Once You Have Got Wheel Arch Cover Off You Can Get Your Hand In Unsrew The Plastic Cover On Back Off Lamp Unclip The Spring Clip And Connector And The Jobs Sorted,lot Off Hassel But It Means Thats £30 Of My Hard Earnd Muller In My Pocket Instead Off Renaults....just To Note Ive Sent A Letter To Renault Customer Services Asking Why If This Is A Design Problem Or Issue They Are Charging This Type Off Money I Dont Mind Paying For Bulb But Think The Labour Charge Should Be Waiverd...cant Wait For Reply...

I work in the automotive trade looking after nearly every contract you can think of and have supplied parts to every vehicle maker in europe and this has been a big problem with new cars for some time. The garages have been taking all the big manufacturers for a ride as every time you take your car for a service during the 3 year warranty they say it needs a bulb and the car makers have to pick up the costs.

I had until very recently the Hella lighting contract on site supplying the lights for Jag cars at castle brom. The dealers were charging Jag £85 everytime a bulb had to be replaced in turn Jag would pass this back to Hella to re-coup some of the money.

Hella realsied this was some sort of con so have invested in making future headlamps which will use LED's, they last a minmum of 10 years and thus stops the greedy little garages chipping into their profits ?

Great for us too as we no longer have to fiddle around to change a bulb
