I've had to do this a couple of times since '02 when we first got our C3. I'm too late to this to be any help but for H7 bulbs I like to leave the connector on the bulb until it's unclipped. For the nearside I find it easiest to take the battery covers off; that gives some space behind the headlight. Then out comes the makeup mirror to remind me where the clip is and how it springs apart. Also, if it's not full daylight, leaving the sidelights on helps when you offer the new bulb up.

Mrs H thinks it takes 40 mins, but I've usually fitted in a swift half at the pub across the road as well.
