Question

Anyone know how to change these?

I've had a quick look and can't see an "easy" way into the sidelights. Do you have to take the headlights out to get into the sidelights and if so is this straightforward enough? (i.e. just undo all the bolts you can see )

Which MY? Old style is easy - one screw and pull carefully.

Erm. Yes. Screwing before pulling. Insert your own gag here.

Spose I better tell ya if no-one else is!

Open bonnet and locate small poz screw on top next to headlight.

Remove screw and CAREFULLY ease the lens forward and slightly "outwards".

The rear of the lens is held by a "ball & socket".

The drivers side is (for some reason), much more reluctant to come out to play.

Hope this helps.

MD.

Take screw out holding clip above h/light inside of edge of wing. Apply force to slide s/lt unit forward but slightly in to the centre of the car ie the same angle as the edge of the h/lt. You may have to use something broad & protected eg wide screw driver &rag to go in behind rubber @ back of s/lt glass to apply forward pressure. Unit is held in by front & top rear long round stalk with stud on end & v-shaped locator back bottom. Takes less time than to read this.
