As I mentioned before this is worth writing about. Within a week period, the lights on both sides of my car needed to be replaced. I had no idea how to access them or what to expect once I remove the rubber cover. One can't see anything. The manual is useless and suggests:
"However, because parts need to be removed,The best source of information I found was in this forum thread: Changing light bulb Clio III
you are advised to have your bulbs replaced
by an approved dealer."
Update: here I found instructions with pictures. Notice the slightly different bulb holder with clips.
Update 2015.12.02: Make sure to check Remy's neat trick in his post (+video) in the comments section below.
Some people suggest to remove the battery or the front mask of the car. I was on the road, so disassembling anything was not an option. I could not see anything and once my hand was in the engine area it just got worse. I remember, my brain stopped working overloaded by thoughts about design, designers and other messy stuff. I took pictures with my phone after removing the rubber cover to see what is going on THERE. Then, somehow I removed the electric connection and took a picture again. Here they are (I got more but they were not pointing at the relevant area...):
Assuming that your hands are small enough to fit in the gaps, the easiest way to put the new bulb in place is by looking through the hole of the headlight (that was still almost blindly but honestly, this was the most I could see from what I was doing). Then again, blindly or not you ought to try to fit the electric connector. It took me about half an hour per bulb and both hands badly scratched... I think any further comments are redundant.
After the post became sort of popular (according to the site statistics), I thought that uploading a movie would be more useful, but after lifting the hood I had the same brain storm feelings, as before, and promised myself I'll do this next time... UPDATE: Failed.
