Front sidelight bulbs - replacement
Replacing the front 5w wedge type bulb on the MGZT KV6 was beyond my large and no longer nimble fingers so I took it to Halfords and a man did it in 10minutes and included a spare for £11.49. Bargain to me. Chris.S.

Good to hear a positive for Halfords, they get so many unfavorable ones.

I gave up changing them rom the access hole under the wing, and went to removing the headlight (and front bumper). Once you've done it once, it is much easier. However nowadays I've put led bulbs in the front sidelights (don't like them elsewhere though). The old bulbs didn't last too long, and the leds are much more reliable and brighter as well.
