You can change the bulb, it's an H7. To do this, you must remove the headlight. First, pull back the lining in the trunk on the side of the affected lamp. Then, you'll see a rubber 'stopper' in the side of the trunk under the lining. Pull this 'stopper' to recveal a hole where you insert the tool from the toolkit (5mm hex on a 't' handle). Once inserted on the nut, turn anti-clockwise until you hear a loud (heart-stopping) 'pop', this has just released the headlight which will now slide forward out of the fender.

Then locate the bad bulb socket and open it by twisting, swap the bulb and slide the headlight back into the fender with some authority as you'll need to get it into the electrical connector in the fender. Then, using the same tool as before, turn it clockwise until another heart-stopping 'pop' - now the headlight is 'locked' back in place. Replace rubber 'stopper' and trunk lining and you're done.
