Just bought a ship load of bulbs today for my ZX (see general chat if you really must).
Also decided to treat the Xantia to some Xenon Gassed jobs Only when i popped the bonet i found acces to the Passenger side ok (tigt, but ok) - but some bloody fool has gone and designed a ruddy great plastic box and some pipes right behind the drivers side lamp.
As it was cold i closed the bonnet and though sod that for a game of soldiers - so any tips? or should i leave it to the garage next service time??? could find nothing in my Haynes BOL or handbook.
Car is 2.0 HDI Xantia (2000).

Xantia Headlamp Bulb Changing Tip Wanted

Marty,
On mine there are 2 pipes held by a plastic clip which if removed gives you access.
Then remove the metal clip and headlamp backing panel.[:)]
Or it's not that much more effort to remove the lamp complete.
Remove indicator lamp by pressing down on the tab at the top and pull lamp out frontways.
Remove 2 white plastic clothes pegs either end of the trim beneath the headlamp.
Pull the trim out frontways.
Remove the 2 5mm allen bolts you have just uncovered.
Remove the top allen bolt and the lamp can be pulled out frontways after pulling off the wiring loom from the bulbs.
Sounds a lot of work but it's pretty easy.
