Changing sidelight bulb Blobeye
Popped into Halfords today for an offside front sidelight bulb.Girl on the till said they could fit it for £3.00 so thought, ok go on then.
Out came the bloke but he was baffled :wonder: so I got a refund on the fitting. Can't find my owners manual as I've just moved.Is it behind the black round thing that might screw off? :cuckoo: If so, I need bloody tiny hands. |
Battery out job on the nearside and yes the circular black plastic part on the rear of the headlight unscrews
|
Easier to remove the light than the battery I would say.
|
nearside I meant sorry..yup the battery's in the way..cheers
|
i did it gently with a long pointy nose plyers:thumb:
|
cheers Ozz..another red blobeye in South Wales :thumb:
|
Manual says to remove the head lights.
|
Trust me to go the battery removal route then!!
|
;) I took the headlights out when I did mine. :D
|
The only way is to remove the headlight as I did. The `back` of the sidelight area is in the wing :wonder:
|
Yep, that's what I thought.
The headlight, indicator and main beam are accessible through the main bit but the side light bulb is up in the wing. |
I changed both the side & headligt bulbs in my mates MY05 STi Type UK the other day.
Head light out was easy! Follow this - http://www.subaru-impreza.org/forum/...placement.html |
bloody ell..this is sounding more complicated..found the manual..it just says turn the holder counter clockwise and remove the retaining spring and connector..Halfords guy thought the bumper had to come off :lol:
|
Took me about 30 minutes to do the 4 bulbs, taking the head lights out!
No bumper or battery removal required... Now my Hawkeye indicator bulbs.....thats another story! |
For the sidelight its a headlight out Job, Very easy to do
|
Changed both of mine the other week and what i thought was goig to be a 5 minute job turned into an hour lol!!!! Next time i do it i will take lights out as it looks easier
|
hi .. i got one stupid question .. my sidelight bulb is broken a couple of weeks ago .. where can i buy the new bulb ? can i get it from halfords ? my car is jdm blobeye .. how about the price ? I am not from UK so finding accesories shop is new for me .. thank you
|
yea halfords or any motor factors will do them. cost a couple of pounds max
|
so just to clarify, i need to take out the lamp before i can change the bulb ? means that i need to detache the bumper first ?
|
I got mine from Autobulbsdirect.co.uk, and as the LED replacement bulbs are soooo small, most online distributers will deliver anywhere for a small charge!
Good luck |
is it this one for the sidelight ?
581 PY21W (Amber) Indicator Bulbs It is just the same for blobeye UK spec or JDM isn't it ? |
I got mine off a guy on ebay
|
i was just wondering.. the bulb that is broken on my blobeye is the parking light bulb .. is this the same as 'sidelight' bulb that people always mentioned ?
|
Just thought i'd add to this incase anyone searching google, hear is a picture of where hidden bulb is.
