hi guys

right I have a problem

i bought some 286 ice white wedge bulbs 12v-15v from www.ultraleds.co.uk to light up my angel eyes rings, i opened the packet, all good they looked exactly the same as the crappy eggy colour, but much to my dismay they won't work, wtf

they look exactly same and fit correctly but nothing

totally teed off

any ideas, can someone help who has FK angels?
cheers guys

Tis gd

I think thats smaller than a 501. So do the old bulbs work? and i presume you have tried the new ones round both ways

totally annoying bumper off job

Post by **alexperkins** » Sat Jul 21, 2007 10:18 am

Youll need a t20/t25 torx head, plus ull need to remove the bumper. Its the screws in the wheel arches up to the top of the bumper both sides, theres two right at the top that secure the bumper to the side panels. Theres four on top above the grille and another two underneath the indicators, plus another two behind the fog grilles

Cor that was a mouthful!!

Just look in the DIY Guides and the thread Sidelight Replacement - a nice guide with piccies to show you which bolts you need to take off and where they are

No worries buddy - word of advice though....with the screws in the arches, youll need to turn the wheel so its facing out of the arch you are working on.
