iirc there should be a shroud on the right hand sidelift it up and look down,its a bit tight but it can be done,or i think you remove the light unit?

at the top f the page there is a search function,type in what you want to search for and it should throw up lots of posts for you to look through.hth.

do you not go in via the wheel arch slide a plastic panel up and its there

There have been loads of threads on this over the years. The little door in the wheel is meant for side light changing access but people say you need a small hand and lots of patience. The easiest way is to carefully remove the whole headlight unit using a long torx (star head) screwdriver. Only takes about 5 minutes. Put it back in the same position as it came from so the headlight alignment is not messed up.

i used the little access flap under the wheel arch yes you do need smallish hands but it took me less than 5 minutes

I have the same problem on a 02 plate Mk 2 Alhambra. I've been told two ways to replace, one is to remove the whole headlamp (brilliant desin) and second there is an inpection panel under front arch that slides back but be careful, dont slide too far back as it comes off the runners. Havent tried yet but will sart with the inspection panel first. Let you know how I get on.
