Clive,

Just replaced mine 2 wekkes ago.

Remove screws of inside wheel covers, 2 scews on both sides.
Remove headlight washers if any.
Reach the plasic locks and push them from behin the front bumper. The enrire
bumper should be able to move a few inches towards you, bearly enough to
replace the head light.

Cheers,

Martijn

Here is part of my not-yet-finished how-to page that describes the steps
I took to get the headlights out of my MY99 V40. I haven't taken a close
up look at the phase2 bumper, but this might help:

Thanks to both of you, I have printed Arnouds instructions so I am well
prepared for a try tomorrow. The one I am doing is RHD but I am sure
that will make little difference. Will post my progress. Cheers
