Cool 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 had enough trouble trying to do the nearside one on my Mk2 ZT and trying to get my hand in. I'm sure I didn't have such problems when I had my Mk1 with Xenons?

I got these from eBay for a couple of pounds.





They reduce bulb-fitting frustration (BFF).

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.
