Default transit headlight bulb....

....new shape, 58 plate....i cant get my arms in to change the passenger side bulb. is there a cover that needs removing or is it just a case of pulling the metal retaining clip a certain way to remove to change the bulb?
just a point in the right direction would be good as ive got to go out very soon so dont want to start taking it apart if its going to take a while.

and if you were worried about it taking too long, if you drop the clip down into the innards of the chassis, no headlights at all, takes about as long to do as this did to post
