I got new bulbs and have fitted the headlight bulbs without any problems, i want to upgrade the sidelights too, but its behind a black screw type cap and is right at the wing and there is feck all space (and i have smallish hands) does anyone know how to replace the sidelights without having to remove the bumper and headlights?

hic-cup lol only joking, not drinking (too much anyway), sorry didn't read your post properly....oops

Can you remove just the headlights and not the bumper to fit the sidelight bulbs?

Would it be easier to remove the air box than the bumper and headlights??

not really because its literally in the wing if u look at the pic its the bottom bulb on the far left, i think the headlights will have to come out too!

Yeah never had to remove headlights, try changing bulbs on a Signum 2.2 Dti mate ;) everything has to come out the way first...

see its right there, i cant see how to get my hand behind the light without removing it

or ripping out the air and fuse box on each side, the bumper seems the easiest option
