I am in the process of changing my bulbs. We have managed to get the nearside light out but the offside is proving difficult. The nearside light is newish but the offside is the original, I have read that there is a dial type button under the front grill with 'open/close' written on it that needs putting to open to release a bracket that is currently stopping the light coming out, is that correct? I think this bracket is broken on the nearside light when it was replaced (before i got the car)

Yes thats right, its a circular dial you just need to twist to relase it. Its situated by the front corner of the light next to the upper grill, you can see it in this pic.
The upper grill might need to come out aswell if you havent done that already

That's right, its also the bolt on top on the top of the wing. Turn the mentioned dial button to open, and it should just pull out with any luck.

You can see it in Sparx's picture, near the bottom left corner... When you twist it to open it (IIRC) pulls a little plastic piece across the head lamp and unlocks it on the opposite side allowing it to slide forward and out..
Edit: If you've undone the two torx screws holding the headlights in you must of seen the dial! One of the screws go right through it!

Just surprised I'm driving around in a girls car! j/k ;-)
Funny enough, the previous owner was female, and the puma black I took the leather interior out of had a female owner with a strange passion for nuts... not the metallic type either...

Exactly! My family and some of my friends don't understand my passion for cars
getting back on topic, you might need to remove the grill to gain access to the screw, there are only two more torx fittings holding the grill in place, this helps to prevent the screw in the headlight rounding out if its stiff. Don't forget the screw at the top holding it on to the wing also.
