Ordered some Ice Blue Bulbs ages ago and only got round to fitting them this afternoon. Sorted Main and dipped bulbs as well as some chrome indicator ones too. Went in a dream and didn't take too long. Only thing is can't seem to get the sidelights out to replace them.

Have been turning them around slighlty but can't seem to get them out, is there a certain position they need to be in to come out??? :confused:

Thanks in advance for any help

you mean the lights in the fenders?

The come out really easy, you have to push the light either left or right(dont know exacly with side) but with your nails under the lights, you can put a little tention on it & they pop out

Hi there

Try holding the wires going into the bulb not to tight as to break the wires, then try lightly pushing a small flat head screwdriver down either side of the the bulb holder to loosen it.
It just clips into place when you replace the bulb, and push it back into the headlight.

hope this helps
 
The wires go into a sort of plastic holder thing that the bulb pushes into. There is a section of the plastic holder that if you squeeze in will allow the thing to release if you give it a tug.....sort of like the tab on an ethernet socket......!!
