When you know how its always easy

But to clarify, the indicators are held in by a plastic pin - its on the top side of the case on the closest to radiator side from what i can remember when i changed all of my headlights/sidelights. It can be undone with either a philips screwdriver or just with your fingers (if your lucky

). That guide on sidelight replacement linked earlier in this thread tells you all the stuff you need to know

Cheers,

Alex

My front left light has gone on full beam!! why did it have to be the awkward side? lol

I had a look at the tutorial and the whole lowering the bumper thing! is this really the only way?
I dont fancy doing it myself as I can imagine it being so easy to damage something

you should be able just remove the bulb, but with a bit of difficulty.

it looks pretty tight
you can unclip the back where the bulbs go but its ever so tight.
