david1972 Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 If it is, it's definitely a diy job. A bit fiddly but 10 mins max. You just need to take off the air intake next to the OSF, move the screenwash tube to the side on the NSF and twist off the grey plastic bulb housing caps from each side. Then you can reach past and get access to each sidelight bulb holder. Just twist about 45 degrees and it'll come out the hole...replace bulbs then reassemble in reverse.

Rizmo Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 Ot take it to Halfords, and let their fitter change it for you, watch carefully, and you will know how to do it in the future. And if they break anything, they have to pay repair costs.

martyc Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 Like an old laguna where the bumper had to come off for a headlight bulb change. Sod that! Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
mart360 Posted August 2, 2015 Author Posted August 2, 2015 Well i managed to do it ... painfully, Not impressed... with the output of the bulbs i replaced them with. i wanted a white sidelight, i got a white spotlight due to the design of the current bulb. Waiting for some replacements off the bay Mart
