    the 307 uses H7 type bulb for the headlight dipped beam.
    never done one on a 307,but dont imagine it to be too hard,open the bonnet and check behind the light for a cover with a metal clip over it possibly.
    im sure someone who has done a 307 before will give you the correct instructions soon enough.

    if it's anything like a 306, you take the whole unit out and fit the new bulb easily rather than having to be a contortionist to get the bloody thing in in situ!!

    should tell you in your Haynes manual. ;)

    with my 306 you disconnected the wiring and the whole headlight unit would slide out of the front of the car. then you took off the back and could replace the bulbs easily. then reverse the process.

    but as i say, check your haynes manual ;)

    Probably the same as the Megane, with an access panel in the wing to change the bulbs
