HOW THE BUGGERY DO I CHANGE A SIDE LIGHT BULB ON A MY96 STI2. I HAVE READ THE THREAD ABOUT JUST REMOVING THE CROSS HEAD SCREW BUT THERE IS ANOTHER CLIP OR SCREW OUT OF SIGHT.AM I RIGHT IN THINKING THE PIAA SUPER WHITE IS THE BEST REPLACEMENT
MY96 CAME FITTED WITH A PIAA DRIVING LIGHT KIT FITTED. DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW MUCH IT COSTS

 

Be gentle please chaps - first post alert

 

Not sure if a MY99 is the same as yours but undo the screw and then it takes a little force to remove the sidelight lens - well it did with mine anyway
If you're running uprated bulbs like Xenon as main then the PIAA sidelights are a good match and, finally, the PIAA driving lamp kit is about £270 plus fitting.

Cheers

If the fitment is the same as an MY99 then they can be a bit difficult to get off.
At the back of the sidelight there is a locating lug which means the sidelight has to be pushed forward (away from the cabin). At the front of the sidelight (low level) there is a push fit ball/socket. You can access this with a long screw driver and help to release the socket. Otherwise brute force!

I have just fitted the PIAA sidelights -very good. I fitted superwhites but plasma sound interesting.

Hope this helps

Why do they have to be gentle ?? He was only asking something he didn't know what to do

It wasn't his first post either

Dave's post was slightly tongue in cheek. As you can imagine some questions op up on a regular basis and there are a few people will ignore the fact that Rob is new to the board and start 'shouting' at him to 'do a search' etc etc. Not the most friendly thing to do, but it does happen.

Wouldn't worry to much about it.
