If it's where it should be, it's fastened to the inside of the light unit itself, you cant really see/access it unless you remove the unit.

Ok,it is the bulbs,the headlight one looked ok but was gone. Changed that,but cant access the small side light one,the one poking down on the angle. Managed to get the wires off it but couldnt feel the bulb to pull it. Is it a light out jobby? Strange for both bulbs to go at once.

To be honest, yes, unless you've got little girly sized hands you're going to struggle, especially if it's the passenger side one due to the battery, might just be easier taking it out. It was for me!

Its a very easy job mate to remove the head lights

Grill off
10mm bolt in the corner of the light bulb unit
8mm bolt on the top of the unit

Light unit pops out mate for easier access

Hmm..I tried taking out last night. But seemed a lot of work. Perhaps went about it wrong.
I started taking the screws out of cover but couldn't get to one because of the bumper so I abandoned it. But will try again and just look for the 2 bolts.
It looks like dipped beam side is really wobbly as the black clips have broken.thajks for the heads up.

Double check but sure it's H7 headlight and just a standard sidelight bulb, I've got led ones of eBay which are pretty good for little money, as for headlight you get what you pay for.
