   Firstly open the bonnet and disconnect the lights.
   You will be faced with this
   
   
   
   the next pictures will show how to disconnect two of the four wires.
   
   
   
   This will pull out
   
   
   
   this needs to be twisted then it ill come out
   
   
   
   The other two are easier to get out when you have got the light out.
   
   There are three screws holding the light in
   
   
   
   those two are easy to get at with a 10mm spanner/socket
   
   there is another one under the brow
   
   
   
   This is hard to get at but i used a 10mm ratchet with an extension.
   
   You will need to remove the brow, they are attached with three clips
   
   these are very delicate, i broke 3 of them. short trip to citroen will sort that out
   
   
   
   With them bolts undone the light can be pulled out.
   
   Now you can disconnect the other two wires.
   
   
   
   this has a clip on the side that you lift then it will slide out
   
   
   
   you will need to put a screwdriver under the clip and pull it up, mine flew 20 feet in the air and i spent the next 10mins looking for it.
   
   Now the light should pull free
   
   
   
   
   
   Now do the same the other side
   
   
   
   AHHHH I'M BLIND

   Nice work Craig!
   Do you know if the same applies to mk1 lights (more importantly the grill for the bottom screw?)

   mountings are in the same place, but involves taking the whole grille out as opposed to just a brow
   
   as for getting to the bolt, i'd imagine its the same

   Is the grill straight forward to remove?

    3 bolts on the top, 2 clips under indicators, then just pulls forward
