Gas discharge headlights/sidelights
« on: 18 December 2010, 13:21:12 »
Hi there. My Omega has gas discharge headlamp units. Is the sidelight bulb an ordinary bulb and if so can it be replaced fairly easily? Sidelight bulb NOT main headlight. TIA

Access to passenger side light can be difficult because of the battery.  :y

I've removed the battery and I can see it, i can touch it, but i can't change it. Any ideas which don't involve removing the whole cluster?
