OK, I've snipped Bella a bit (sorry)
but I agree very strongly. I've been driving around now for about 3 months on one side light.
(if it was a headlight I'd make more effort)

Why - because in order to replace the nearside bulbs on a diesel SEAT Ibiza there are 2 options
1 - take the battery out to obtain access to the light units
2 - take the bumper off in order to take the light units out through the front

absolutely looney piece of design.

The offside is slightly better spacewise, in that I could just change bulbs, but it did take about an hour to do combined with some knuckle surgery.
