changing bulbs

i just done it.
just wanted to give some advice - although this may seem obvious.

remember how the bulb fitted in, including how the clip went.

take apart slowly so you can understand how the bulb and holder fits through the metal latch.

take your time and be patient. as condescending as this is, i tried rushing and almost f'ed it up! and got in such a mood!

prepare time, its not a 5 min job unless youre an expert. took me almost 30 minutes just to do one side!


i recommened doing this tho, as the results are great and a very cheap enhancement.

thanks to all those who posted previously - it gave me help.


Sam

Lol, it is when you know how. Obviously not everyone is as gifted as you T. I only had one problem and that was with one of the clips, it wouldnt go back where i wanted it to .

Re: changing bulbs

Just did the indicator bulbs, sidelights and dipped beams. Put in Philips Silver Vision indicators and Philips BlueVision slidelights and dipped.

Wasn't too difficult but the guides on here helped a lot - the manual is a wee bit vague.
