Sidelamp Bulb Change Problem

[Rolebama]

I am trying to replace a blown sidelamp bulb. I dropped the black plastic cover out of the way, and found a white plastic lever attached to the what I believe to be the sidelamp bulb holder. I tried to move it, but it just sort of 'springs', and has no real feel of solidity to it. I can't get my fingers in to get hold of the bulb holder properly. Have I got the right bit, if so which way do I turn it to free it off? Thank you.
Car is D8.

Quoting myself from a previous thread

The D8 sidelights are an interesting engineering design decision.

Take the full beams cover off and disconnect the wiring. Then remove the full beam bulb to give yourself more room. Now grab the white L shaped piece next to the full beam bulb holder and, looking at the rear of the headlight unit, turn it one quarter turn clockwise for the n/s or anticlockwise for the o/s (so the end of the white handle moves towards the bottom of the headlamp unit). Now pull the handle backwards towards the rear of the car and do a bit of wiggling to get it out into the open air so you can replace the bulb.

This is definitely doable with the headlight unit in place and without and further disassembly, and in true Haynes style, refitting is the reverse of removal

Never heard that being said about PSA designers before...

Thank you Jonsowman. I shall have a more determined go later.

I didnt know you had a 406 ...

Bought it at the beginning of December. I was having problems with the injector pump on the 306, (non-running), and whilst trying to sort it, the rear suspension collapsed! (Luckily not driving!) I decided to call it a day on that car.
