I have just replaced the left hand dipped bulb and it took me over 2 hours to do it
The blanking cover is a wast of time. have to take the front wheel off and the inner wing
There must be an easy way of doing it ( and do not say take it to a dealer )

Re: Headlight Access
I find taking front bumper off is quickest. this can be done in 5 mins. I have done it a few times now and have it down to a fine art. I dont think renault like you to do anything yourself!

Re: Headlight Access
When you have small hands, it can be done in the way Renault intended it to be done. No need to take the wheel off, just steer the wheel max. left or right and jack up the car so the wheel will lower. It's not easy, but it can be done.

Re: Headlight Access
i found it alot easier second time round. i also found it easier for the drivers side to take part of the slam panel cover off, you cant get your hand through there but you get a better view of what your doing. for the passenger side i found it easiest to take the battery out and you can access it from there.

I'll be doing this with my cock next time. In these temperatures, its about the right size for the job.

Best advice for Megane owners: sell it before it bankrupts you!
