« on: 01 May 2010, 10:36:40 »
MOT time. I have the passenger sidelight out. I cannot see how to access the bulb. Anyone out there can give me advice?

Remove the black rubber cover, it's in there. Not easy to get a hand in there, especially the pasenger side, but that's where it is.  ;)

it just pulls out - bulb and holder held into the main beam section purely by rubber grommet.

Try not to break the headlight adjusters whilst doing this...

the 'blue bodied but light up white' are still in the packet in the garage  :-[ I tried some surface led's in her Smart but they wouldn't fit (too long) so they're in the Omega now. Since fitting them though, the car's not been used in the dark  :-?
