Headlamp bulb replacement
My left low beam headlamp is dim and somewhat purplish. Does anyone know how you change the bulb without messing up the headlamp alignment?

Remove the front-bumper , remove the headlight housing.. Replace both bulbs if you have xenon, else you will have a diffence in color.

Do you have to remove wheel arch liners (and hence the wheels as well) to remove the front bumper? My guess is yes?

They can't be replaced without removing the bumper? Does anyone have the procedure to replace the bulb?
