Ive just got some new bulbs for my side/headlights, but am confused how to get access to my sidelights...

 

ive loosened the screw on the front left of the light but nothing seems to be happening.. ? the light appears to be in 3 parts, main section then like plasitc wings either side on witha screw in? Im obviously making this more difficult than it needs to be so seeking help..

 

also before i co*K up doing my dipped bulbs any advice on an easy way to do those...

 

cheers all

You have to remove the indicator (2 phillips screws) then undo 3 10mm nuts behind the light to remove it. The screw you've been turning is the left/right alignment.

edit...too slow and wrong lights lol

Edit to slow. :nelson:

As for dipped bulbs: unscrew plastic ring at the back which has the rubber boot in it, remove clip holding bulb in, pull out old bulb, put in new bulb, put back clip etc. HTH

great so my sidelights no pointing somewhere over in norway... thanks guys... guess il go fight it this afternoon... any advice on the dipped headlights or can even I manage that.... (stand by for follow up post :headvswal )

Your side lights wont be pointing anywhere, as they arnt strong enough to be a problem, but your fogs may have been affected!

it me being thick or what but wasnt aware I had any front fogs? They in the same light unti as what im calling the sidelights? Wheres the switch to turn on the front fogs then..? (uk spec car..)

Sorry, I wrote that before I realised what car you had. In that case I wouldn't worry about the adjustment, as it won't affect anything important :D

right done, but it appears after further ivest that my fogs come on with the main beam so il probably have to adjust them later... turns out the whole job is fairly similar to that of my old 200...

I do beleive that the pic attached is your car (complete with my car in the background, with the box that your leather came in with the old leather inside it :D ), and unless the lamps have been changed, you've got side lights/indicators in the front bumper, along with indicator lenses on the outter side of them, or did Matty get around to fitting proper fogs? Either way, if it still looks like this, then you defo haven't got front fogs :D
