It would help to know where that lightbulb is Front? Fender? Tail?
Tail must be easiest Though it will take some time. Jaguar /=(not equal) Ford Fiesta.
Fender, you will have get access under side of weel well. If you will be doing it yourself, that plastic underlining is flexible, but it is very old elastomeri material, It will crack if you bend it ecessively.
Front light, this will take 3 Jaguar engineers to replace preverbial light bulb.

But does the car looks stunning even today!

Hi oldole,
Here is a pic of the headlight unit. The turn signal bulb is No. 6. I seem to remember there is a tab to squeeze to then pull it back out of the unit. I have put a red arrow to the tab. Sorry, I haven't physically checked on my car yet.
Edit: Just checked on the car, and info above is incorrect. Bulb turns anticlockwise to remove. It is quite stiff, so a tool of some sort might help.
The book referenced below is correct for the turn signal bulb, but the park bulb on the inner light does not turn. The book is incorrect on that, and the pic above shows on No. 1 the tab to lift to pull the bulb out.

Squeeze the tab at red arrow to remove the turn signal bulb
