Replace Bi Xenon bulb

The bixenon dipped bulb on drivers side [UK] needs to be replaced on my 2005 xc70.The good news is that I've bought one for half the cost of the one I got in 2009-the bad news is that Volvo didn't leave enough room to change it!Through this forums help I replaced the nearside bulb by removing the air filter housing and I now need to remove the two electrical components on drivers side to allow access for this bulb.I know how to change the bulb but would really welcome some help to make room to do it -perhaps the Swedes have small hands?

Thanks for that, looks like a lot of effort just for a bulb !
Meanwhile I've taken apart the 3 piece plastic housing to the 2 electrical components -it gives abit more room but not enough.This housing ,on my xc70 sits behind the lights assembly and next to the washer filler neck.If I could just remove these two electric things [I don't know what they are ]I could have clear access. Could they be fuel management as one says Bosch on it?ANy further help would be good -thanks as I don't really want to take the bumper off.

You don't have to take the bumper off. Just loosen it.
Normally takes about 10 minutes from start to when you have the light assembly in hand.

What is the bulb type for this?
