Yup, small hatch in the wheel arch, held in place by a few screws and load and loads of silicon type stuff!

Be really careful you don't pop the light out whilst doing this from behind! I did took me ages to get it back in.

Phil asked about the main-beam not the dipped-beam. Mine's a 500 not a 400 but I'm sure you don't access the main-beam through the wheelarch access panel. Surely it's just a case of reaching under the nose and removing the bulb from the rear of the (Cibie) lamp unit? Rich...
