The answer is you have to remove the battery out of the car on the C5 to replace the bulbs on the batteryside.
I know because I have a C5, the xsara picasso was the same. easy to do once the battery is out of the way.
I hope that helps

Tried Halfords at Thetford today! No luck. They suggested that I take it to a main dealer.
