Jaguar headlamp

How do I get the o/s headlamp out of my S Type Jag? The clip that holds the dip bulb has fallen off its lugs when I've removed the bulb and there's no room to get in there to get it back on with the lamp in situ

On most cars these days changing a head lamp bulb involves removing the front bumper --- easier that it sounds but don't try it unless you have somebody to assist lowering it and offering it back up.

That's exactly what I was trying to avoid! + It's b****y cold out on the driveway!

Welcome to the world of modern motoring! It's about time that manufacturers made fitting light bulbs user friendly

Thanks for the help. Problem is that the bulb retaining clip has become detatched and it's not possible to get at with the haedlamp in situ.
