Replacing front side light Octavia 2009 Any tips , took headlamp out but Cannot see how to get to bulb , headlights ok just the very small parking bulb ?

On the back of the unit is a plastic cover. Remove that and you will see two wires and a holder. Pinch the clips on the holder with long nose pliers and pull gently

This is for the pre-FL but the set-up round the back of the headlight is all but identical...

It is also detailed and illustrated in the owners handbook.
