Can anyone tell me which bulbs are used in the idicators, are they offset pins?
And how do i get the indicator off or behind it to get to them!
Thanks

I assume you mean front indicators?

They are 21w offset pin jobbies, and they are really fiddly to replace!

If you have small hands and long fingers it will help! You need to unclip the metal retainer for the outer black cover, once the cover is off you will see a round white plastic retainer right in the corner... turn this 45 degrees to the left and it should pull out.

I found the sidelights were enough of a pain, the indicators must be even worse!

Some people on here resort to taking the bumper off...

Update: The indicator bulbs are also known as 581 / PY21W.

They are the same difficulty level as the sidelights I`d say, I used to have the chrome indicator bulbs in but recently changed to osram diadems (much better).
I don`t see how removing the bumper would help unless you took the light cluster out too.

It`s a bit like decorating your living room through your letterbox, but it can be done with everything in place.
 
^^ Nice analogy!

I can just say take off eveything that you can to get in to them! When I changed my sidelights, I endeed up taking off battery covers main light covers, blah, blah until I could squeeze my non-child-sized hands into the gaps to fit the bulbs! With broken skin and lots of swearing I managed it, even though at first glance I thought it would've been a bumper-off job.
