Espace III xenon bulb replacement with photos

[jack daniels]

been driving around with one light out?
then here's how to replace the bulb:

log on to ebay and buy 2 x D2S bulbs such as philips, osram or GE.
replace both sides at once, the colours probably wont match otherwise.

turn off the lights
remove 2 plastic pieces over the lights:                   2 screws each
remove the grill:                                                  2 clips, 3 screws. the 2 lower bolts wont fall out, they have retainers
disconnect the headlight washers from the light:      2 bolts
disconnect the multi pin pluigs
remove the light units
open the bulb compartment:                                    3 screws, torx T20 tamperproof
replace the bulb

use Dow Corning DC-4 or similar grease on the seal for the bulb cover
use the same grease on the seals for the multipin connectors.
