Default How not to change Hawkeye indicator bulbs

Hi,

Done a few small jobs on the Spec C this weekend...

Fitted my red hazard switch.

http://

Also fitted an oem rear fog light switch.

http://

Then I thought I'd swap the orange bulbs in my head lights, when this happened...

http://

Not ideal but I managed to get it out

http://

All done...

http://

Thanks

I got the bulbs from Scoobyparts Ltd. The rears are easy but the fronts I had to pull the headlights out to get access.

The same thing happened to me. Luckily my girlfriend is a vet and I was able to borrow some foresepts from her surgery and get mine out!

Just curious as some SELCA alarms are not Thatchem cat 1 and if anything happened you might not have the right cirtificate to show the insurance company.

Glad it's not then

The fog light switch was £22 from the 'for sale' section. How easy it is to fit would depend on how your rear fog light is wired up now but its not that hard.
