Default City light replacement - 07 A8

The driver's side (USA) city light on my newly (to me) purchased SWB A8 is burned out, I've tried to remove the headlight cluster, but it appears the bumper or something MUST be removed for this to come off.

Opened the back access panel to the light cluster with this driving light, removed the bolt holding the mineral oil reservoir and moved it as far away as possible from the access. I can not get my large stubby hands in to access the city light for removal/replacement.

ANY suggestions, help?? I'd really appreciate anyone whose "been there done that" sharing their procedure with me.

Cheers,

Gary Knox

Default city lights

Mishar,

Thanks for the quick response. I REALLY appreciate that.

I was a little apprehensive about doing that, but you've given me confidence that it will work. Just hope my stubby hands/fingers can get it back in the correct spot!!!

Cheers,
