Title: Sidelight replacement 2000 X25XE HID
Post by: rob.b.666 on 30 May 2011, 17:08:41
Okay.........I've had cars with minimal room to get to the back of the headlight, but this is crazy !

Am I missing something, as I don' t want to be removing the whole assembly, just to change a sidelight bulb !!!

Your frustratedly !

I'll race you in a side light swap.

You do my wife's Smart Roadster's, I'll do your Omega's  :y :y

You can squeeze your hand in if you try, & I don't have little hands.  ;)

Only takes 2 min to remove the light and no cut hands ;)

That's why all Omegas come with a first aid kit in the back!

I did mine by removing the complete unit as it was so much easier that way with a bunch of bananas for fingers! ;D

Sure there is (now) an EU ruling that all (user changable) bulbs must be able to be done by Mr Average at the side of the road with just the supplied tools.
