News Flash! Sidelight Replaced On Mk 2

[seefive]

Finally got the dreaded sidelight failure last week (offside) and considered my options

 

Sell the car in daylight and give a false address

 

Take it the dealer and get stiffed with a 3 figure bill ("sorry sir that means stripping off the bumper..") hmm

 

Ignore it till MOT time and hope I don't get a pull from the boyzinblue

 

Tried to change it myself with predictable lack of success

Then decided to give Halfords a try - result!

 

The young lad had the bulb out in about 5 minutes.Getting the new one in took about 20 minutes, aided in the end by me un-bolting the LDS tank to make more room.

 

Total cost £10, Total hassle none .

 

Thank you Halfords. I'm sure I still couldn't do it myself - my fingers are too short. But at least I know a man who can. :rolleyes:

Well! Well! Well! I've had my front bumper off twice for side-light bulbs and the second time I fitted LEDs. Also the first time a bulb went, I took it to Halfords but he tapped into his computer and said they wouldn't do it.
