Ok should be a simple task!!! NOT
Some say you need to remove the bumper which then will give you access to remove the H-light as a unit to gain access to the bulbs.
Or you can remove the battery and also the battery tray and then try to get your fingers in the hole to remove the bulb.. WHAT A PAIN IN THE BUTT.. Surely when they design a car they should know that the owner will need to change a bulb whilst on the roadside  :uzi
Tomorrow I will try the battery removal method and let you know how long it takes...
BTW this is on my Stilo JTD

  You've got the dreaded headlight bulb eh? No need to remove either the bumper or the battery tray. I assume as you're talking of the battery it's on the passenger side? Just remove the bottom grill in the bumper & stick your hand up inside (ooer!) & unclip the brace that holds the backing panel on, then working from the top (ooer!) take the backing cover off & you'll have access to the bulbs, I would suggest taking the battery cover of though (saves your knuckles ).

*edit* I've just remembered yours is a multiwagon isn't it? You should be able to do it just by removing the battery cover.

I can see now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ended up taking the battery cover off, battery out and un-clipped the outer plastic battery tray/holder to give a little extra room.  What a pain in the butt. Good job I have small hands but I still managed a cut or two.. I hope the indicator bulb dont blow??? Thats tucked rite out the way.
Cheers Ben for the advice.
