how do you change front bulb on rover 75 drivers side?

is there an easy way to change headlamp bulb on rover 75 drivers side seems impossible to get at easily

take the panel off under the wheel arch and swear a lot I left the bulbs held in with one half of the clip as it is impossible to get the clip all the way back on

Hi
Remove panel under wheel arch Remove rubber cover around headlamp Note the position of the clip begore touching it
The pronged part of the clip should be located through the holes at the right hand side acting like a hinge and NOT like the left hand side spread over the hooks.
To loosen but DO NOT remove, push down on the left hand side of the clip till it clears the hooks then move slightly downwards this should let you move the clip like a hinge to the right, remove bulb insert new bulb now do the reverse.
You have to do most of this by feel as you cant see once your hand is in, the important bit is to make sure that clip does not come fully off. my first attempt took me 2 hours as i removed the clip fully ,i have now got it down to 10 minits the guy that designed this needs castrated! regards
