Hi all

Sorry this is a stupid question but how do I get the side light bulb out?

Trying to replace mine and all it does is turn, is there a clip or something?

Your help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Bruce

There is a kind of a lip they fit over, to remove they just need a quick tug (not that kind) to get them out, you can really tear your fingers to shreds doing it, but thats all they need. Sometimes you can get the end of a screwdriver to loosen them, then pull them out with your fingers.

Best thing I have found to get the bulb holder out is a pair of needle nose pliers. Grab the holder square in the middle and wriggle it out.
