Re: Change Headlight Blub without removing bumper

Aargh, why was the Gallery used?!

YOu need to use the ATTACHMENTS facility, as per the guide to the GUIDES.

Let me sort it out in the next few days

Spent on hour trying to find the guide to doing Guides lol when I couldn't find it I just tried to cobble it together...and it looks it too...I am going to redo it

EDIT

Redone it with attachment...yes I have now found the Guide to Guides...didn't find it in the "how to section though"...probably just me?

Re: Change Headlight Blub without removing bumper

Having taken out the wash bottle when in a forest in Scotland during a snow shower and having skinned my knuckles after removing the battery to do the other side , I shall try this technique next time.

Re: Change Headlight Blub without removing bumper

Re: Change Headlight Blub without removing bumper

I did mine in situ, without removing much at all

BUT it killed my hands haha.

Ffoxy, you got a new car?

Re: Change Headlight Blub without removing bumper

Used this method last week and it worked. Found it easier by jacking the car and removing the wheel although I have to say that getting the headlight cover off and back on again was by far the hardest part. Think I'll go via the bumper removal option when I fit a HID kit. Could only find 5 screws holding the wheel arch cover on though!!!

Red face Re: Change Headlight Blub without removing bumper

Interesting and useful guide but sadly the method described in this guide didn't work for me I do have hands the size of shovels which may have limited my ability to follow this guide properly though

As I write I'm mid-changing the n/s headlamp bulb (I'm on a well deserved coffee/fag/breakfast break) and have had to take the battery out and play around with all sorts of sh*te in order to get at the bulb..... always knew it would be a charlie uniform november tango of a job but what a truly awful piece of design

Hope everything goes back in properly

Screw No.6 found underneath the car holding the back of the wheel arch liner on just underneath the door.
