I'll try my best.

There should be an electrical clip that you take off by holding in 2 sides and pulling, then remove the rubber weather seal. Now you should be able to see the metal clip and the back plate of the globe.

Fling the clip either clockwise or anti clockwise till it comes loose. The blub should then come out. Reverse it all to put the new one in. Don't touch the glass with your hands!!!

Also, you may wish to remove the water tank for your windscreen nozzle with a few bolts i think it is? This is to get to those bulbs.

the one under the washer bottle is easy when you take that out and its not hard at all (2 screws and a plug) the other side is a lot more difficult due to the battery enlosure. I couldnt get mine back in dammit so i hadda remove the battery!

That washer bottle is a pain in the **** - especailly when I did not realise that the high beams were different so did the headlights and parker globes at one time then had to go back ont hw weekend and get me some high beam globes too and move everythng again! Was suprised at how easy it was to do though - helping my mate do his commodore this weekend and that is just oing to be hell - going to have to take out half the contents of the engine bay to get to the lights!!!
