On the driver side on my 1.0 (different engine I know but I am not 100% sure how different...) you need to dismantle part of the air intake to get access to the headlight. If you snap the plastic tag holding the air intake to the front of the car it can be replaced with a big but short self tapping screw. I'm just saying...

its not the bulb i want to replace its the whole actual headlight i read up on it and it mentions dropping the front bumper to get headlight out it is drivers side i need to replace

u need a medium flat screwdriver to remove the air intake pipe from the front of the chassis, then lift it up n out

then unclip all of the bulb wires off

undo the 2 8mm screws holding the light down

if you have the little white location plug at the bottom of headlight u may need to yank it up a bit to release it from that

then u just twist the light clockwise slightly looking from the top of the light down maybe aout 10 degrees and a bit of a wiggle and a slight scrape on the top of the headlight from the chassis and it should come out

i took off the front bumper to get access to headlight not that hard really 1 nut in front wheelarch 3 nuts at bottom of bumper and 2 on top holding grill on and it just popped out

you shouldnt need to take bumper off, its just a straight swap tbh,
