Fitting of side light bulbs ?
Hi All
Just a quick question how easy is it to fit side light bulbs as I have one out , baring in mind I am not to good on my feet and can't really get down on the floor or is it easy enough to do from the engine bay ? Many thanks. Paul

Fairly easy, remove rubber cap, reach in under the main bulb & pull the holder out. Replace bulb & refit.

I got these from eBay for a couple of pounds.
They reduce bulb-fitting frustration (BFF). TC |

I thought going through the removable panel holes under the wings would give more room and be easier. Bit difficult from the top unless you have small flexible hands.
