Dealer quote of €280 to change bulbs..!
Was going to go down the lazy route until I got a quote from a dealer of €280 to change the headlight bulbs.... !!
Why? Because they need to remove the front bumper and the under-trays to get at the bulb. Then they have to realign the lights and put parts back again.... They should be subscribed to this forum!!!  :R OFL:

So you're not having it done then?
And to think some people pay that. I'm in the wrong game, i should be changing bulbs for a living

That's almost as good as the £4,000 (no typo, or missing decimal..) that I was quoted to replace the broken circular cap on the centre console on my D2 S8 a couple of years ago. It was fixed in the end with a £10 replacement from A8 Parts of the whole central cartridge
 Dealer quote (service supervisor) at the time - "it's an integral part of the whole computer system, so it'll all need to be replaced, and can't be replaced on it's own"  I didn't realise I looked that stupid...

Depends on the model, but some do require headlight removal to get proper access, and some require bumper off before the headlights come out. Even on the V10 I think you can avoid that with removal of airboxes and a bracket or 2 to get to the back of them.
If that cost includes a couple of OEM gas discharge headlights it's actually not that unreasonable. They're usually a fair wack. If that's just labour then it's certainly a bit chunky! If headlights come out they should always be realigned - had mine done properly after refurbishing the headlights as I'd had them out and in bits!

Air boxes out on both sides and also the inner wheel arch. Therefore the wheel too. That then gives plenty of access. Even on the V10. It's not too bad a job...
