Headlamp bulbs on facelift

[KMG]

Hi, can anyone tell me how to change the H7 bulb on the nearside of a facelift RCZ 156thp?

There's a big black box in the way!

Thanks!

It’s a bit of a squeeze. I gave up and took it round to my mechanic and he did it in two minutes. But he hasn’t got massive sausage fingers. Some cars are a real squeeze now. The RCZ is on that side at least.

It's not actually that difficult. There's a guide on here somewhere but my advice is to do the drivers side one first as you can see what you're doing. Then do the passenger side one as that one has to be done by touch only.

EDIT: Here's the guide but the pics are now dead so is of limited help, sorry!

From what I remember you can move the black box out of the way…and yep its still tight in there
I put uprated led in mine the lights are the brightest I’ve come across….they seem to pass mot every year with no problems even though I’m told they illegal…
When fitting you basically blind doing it as you can’t see in there but slowly n surely they fit…

Thanks guys,
In the end I wimped out and took it down to my trusty mechanic (Intaservices, Leicester), and he did it one handed in about 5 minutes!
