Headlight Bulb Replacement on 2.0 75 "W" Reg

carlpenn · 8th December 2007, 21:44

So, less than 24 hours away from driving to Germany and the Computer tells me that the Front Drivers Side Bulb has failed, upon checking, sure enough, there is on the Drivers side, only a Sidelight

Can anyone tell me how to get to the Bulb to replace it, also what Bulb is it, as I need to go to Halfrauds so I dont have to break into my "Spare Bulb" kit for the Trip :p

Better now than in the Middle of Nowhere I suppose !!

I believe there is a removable panel under the wheel arch, also in halfords there will be a chart to inform you which bulb you require, (if no-one is able to give you the answer on here first) have a good trip and drive safe

I thought the drivers side was much easier, and I'm a right hooker

Damned duct in the way on the passenger side. The main problem for me is the spring clip thing holding the bulb in.

I have JCB buckets for hands

last time I had the misses & the 14 year old doing it cos I could not get in there

The Duct was rolling around the Bumper enclosure on the Passenger side

One of a few jobs I have to sort
