2005 DB9 Spring & small bulb replacement

Hi,

Just had my 2005 db9 volantae back from the garage and has failed Mot. Cracks in springs on both front ends and small bulb out on driver side park light / headlight.

Now I've changed springs in the past and so that job seems pretty straight forward (any tips be appreciated) but can't seem find any info on getting to the small bulb at front of head lights.

Owners manual says it's back to dealer but surely that can't be the case just for a bulb change??

any help be greatly received...

You should be able to access the bulbs yourself. Just need to remove the fender liner.

That bulb is definitely reachable but it's in a really tight space. Long arms and small hands would make it easier.

I had to drop the air box to get to it.
