Ok - the side light has gone on my car - and its only 9 months old. I notice that its impossible to get at the bulb from the inside? - so I undid the top screw and tried to remove the side light housing - no success! - then I noticed that there were a couple of retaining clips - so I tried to force the housing - still no success!

Can anyone tell me how to change the side light at the front as its starting to really irritate me!

Thanks

 

Steve,

Thereis only one screw holding it in (the one you have undone on the top of the headlight).

The only thing holding it in is a plastic V type clip. The "clip" holds the lamp onto the endge of the wing.

You have to "sternly" pull/force the lamp forwards, making sure u dont break the screw bracket off the top.

Once you realise how its fixed in, you'll kick yaself...

Good luck Steve !!

I had one go a couple of months back and boy oh boy did I have a game getting it out ... when you do actually get it out ( the light that is ) like firefox said you will kick yourself. Just so easy to scratch your bodywork though.....

C'mon Steve - man of your talents? Even I managed to change mine!!!

Seriously - undo screw on top, get fingers into rubber at rear of light and pull forward - hard! Just 'pops out'.

Good Luck - If you don't manage it, I'll show you....

 

Very timely post- mine's just gone too (9 months old!).

Must admit I haven't looked to fix it yet- think I'll have a look now after the GP.

ANyone know what type of bulb it is?

 

Blimey.
it took longer to write the post than swap that bulb.

Don't know what the fuss was all about

 

Ok, Ok, thanks for the...... sarcasm..... everyone

I'll have a go tonight - just thought I was putting too much force into it for it to be that simple - and I aint a small chap!

Tis a bit annoying for the bulb to go within a year though - drivers side (wonder why?)
