Yup i do...

And yes you DO need to drop the bumper down on the side of lamp that needs to come out but its not hard..

Front wheel arch has a couple of bumper fixings behind the arch liner.. remove the trim to the right of the lamp too at the front under the bonnet.

Once the screws and clips are out in the arch area i think theres a 10mm or two along the underside aswell take them out . the bumper should pull forward slightly and then out sideways to unhook it from under the wing area.

If appropiate fixings are out it should drop down to reveal a screw on the grill side and other on the inner wing side and the upper one on top

Is it misted up on the inside with condensation, or has the outside gone cloudy?

If it's mist inside take the bulb out and blow into it with a hair drier.
