   sorry if this is a dumb question, but how do i get to the bulbs. is it just as simple as unscrewing the bolts and pulling them out? and does the new bulb just slot back in place?

   you need to pull the bulb connections off from headlight, take the seal of the bulb then there is a spring type mechanism, you need to pull it to one side and the it will release it and then you can get the bulb, it hard to explain, once you take the rubber seal off you will see how it works

   I have a 2003 Saxo and I can't get the connector off the back of the bulb to save my life. Can someone advise?
