david1972 Posted July 19, 2015 Share 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 Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
