How do you change the headlight bulb on a Renault Scenic 3?

Cannot find any guides or videos

Thanks

I will update for completeness

Managed to get my hand in behind the headlight and change the bulb without having to remove bumper or headlights as is easier to do with previous models

Remove plastic cap from rear of bulb
Remove connector
Turn bulb 45 degrees
Remove bulb

The one I changed was very difficult to turn but in the end it gave and it has now been changed

Refitting is reversal of removal

Hi

my 2006 Megane was the same, leaving the connector on is a good tip for wiggling and pulling out the old bulb.
Its also a good idea to fit it onto the new bulb for the same reason, also helps you not to touch the new bulb in the process. however do not pull on the wires they are not attached well enough and not designed for that purpose.
Make sure you align the tab in the correct position and push the bulb all the way in.
The number of cars I've seen where owners are complaining of poor lights is where the bulbs have not been either fitted with the tab in the right lace or bulbs not pushed home.

Hi

I wondered about that with my Megane hand book, I think its a typo, as its the indicator bulb that needs the 1/4 turn.
The projector h/amps are push & pull with just the side spring clips holding it in.
