Offside dipped headlight bulb replacement

[Andyrobin]

I’m sure this has been asked before, but can anybody tell me the easiest way to replace the dipped offside headlamp bulb on a 9N Polo 1.4 diesel. This seems the most difficult thing to do, and I’m loathed the ask the garage again. Tried moving the coolant top up bottle and the fuel pump(?) holder, but this has unusual bolts(to a non expert like myself) holding it in position. Thanks in anticipation.

There's a trick to this that's honestly brilliant. Get the coolant bottle and free it from it's mount, you can now stick your arm down the wing and into the back of the headlamp easily!

They always seem to fail in poor weather. My n/s side lamp failed just before the xmas holiday. Not wanting to get my hands cold I went to Halfords and paid for the service. The 'long life' bulb failed a few weeks ago and they were good enough to replace it foc.
