Cool Information requested

I have just bought a pair of clear side repeaterd for my STI V2. I'm not totally stupid he he but was just wondering is it quite an easy job to swap them over and what does this entail

If anybody that can supply any info would be greatfully accepted

Cheers

The side repeaters are slightly trickier to replace as they are held in with some plastic clips. You need to carefully push the repeater towards the front of the car. This will compress the plastic spring clip and release the clip from the rear of the repeater. The repeater should pivot on the plastic spring clip and pull free from the rear.
Simply unscrew the bulb holder, replace with a silver-coated bulb (if you dont want an orange bulb showing through) and push the new clear repeater back into the whole. Just watch the paintwork.

Good luck

Tricky? It's a 5 second job to get them out, then just undo the bulb connector, swap it into the new lens and clip it back in. 30 seconds each side tops.

Indeed, even a girl can do it in under a minute.
I replaced mine all those years ago.
