Open bonnet. Remove round plastic cap behind bulb holder using screwdriver as lever to rotate cap, do not, do not drop it! Use screwdriver to pull back the wires connected to the holder and exert some tension as if you could pull the bulb holder straight out , but you cannot, because of the two small plastic levers which you are supposed to squeeze together at the same time. Impossible, because God did not give us fingers designed for this job, so, make a hook from strong wire, something like 3mm diameter and pull upwards on the lower lever with the tip, which works better if sharp, when either the holder will release on one side, or the holder will come straight out. If neccessary, press down on the upper plastic lever to release the other side of the holder. Then throw this new special tool that you have made in your special tools box to join all the others which you will make in the course of a lifetime.
