Headlights fine, just twist it and off it comes. The sidelight does take a bit of patience to take out. I use a small flat head as a support and carefully pull it out.Phixx wrote:has anyone else had trouble changing the headlight and side light bulbs on their car??

as "drennan" said use the wires that go in to the sidelight and just pull it out (the wires are quite strong) but the next pain is puttin it back in, need to get someone who have small hands or fingers

the trick is with putting the sidelights back in is....
turn them on... then look for the lightsource through the hole on the outside of the headlight... will take you 3 seconds i swear! lol
