Lightbulb

Just press the indicator inwards a bit, then slide
it forward. The rear end will then come loose.

Hope that explanation was understandable. It's easy!

Cool

Sorry, I think I misunderstood.
Thought you meant the side indicators.....

But yes, technique is still the same, after you've unscrewed that
one. Mine were difficult to get off, but made it eventually...
Have a look here - might be helpful:

Thumbs up

It seems to be 'a bit' tight fit...
Press it inward/forward at the same time.
I struggled even more getting the right hand one back on, but then at least I had already taken the bugger off and knew how it was
supposed to fit in there...
Was worried for a while that I would have to drive around
without that light A bit afraid to break somthing, but then I
got pi##ed off and forced it into place - Sits nicely now
(I just took them off to fit some Philips blue vision bulbs in
place of the yellowish standard ones.)

Give it an extra go.
Simen.

Just in case people are trying to do the same with a bug eye.

I did it last weekend.
You have to remove the following in the following order.
Air intake
bit's at side of grill
Grill
Then unscrew lights
Remove entire bug eye
put in bulb
replace all in reverse order.

This is because the sidelight sits in the wing !!
