Please Can Some One Tell Me How I Replace A Front Indicator Bulb On A 03 Ulysse.
 
You either get small hands and long fingers and very flexy wrists! Or sadly you have to remove the front bumper. Its not as bad as it sounds its the same for the fog light bulb.If you search this site it is explained how to remove the bumper Good luck
 
Hi
Was interested to read this post since I'm having the problems getting access to replace the driver's side front indicator bulb on my Ulysse Mk1(1998 R reg) - can't get my hand into the confined space. Is there a particular technique to this? Any help much appreciated. Surely it can't be necessary to have to remove the headlight unit or parts of the front bodywork?
 
Hi
Worked this one out - the indicator unit is held in place by a retaining spring which can be released from undre the bonnet - the unit can then be pushed forward and out and the bulb replaced in the usual way. Refit is "reverse of removal".
Cheers

I went through the learning curve of taking off the bumper to replace the front indicator bulb on my 53 Ulysse and then realised that I could have done it in 5 minute with the bumper in place.
A picture is worth a thousand words as they say so, to get to the indicator bulb you need to undo he grey, round thing in the attached picture.
You have to feel around underneath the headlamp for a round hard plastic cap around 3 to 4cm diameter with two, um, wings on it, twist to unlock, then pull out with the bulb attached.
Oh and by the way, if you take out the bulb and see that there's nothing wrong with the bulb (yet the indicator is not working), the fault is almost certainly with the contacts on the side of the bulb holder itself. These often don't make good contact and the resultant sparking erodes the contact. The cure is to add a drop of solder to the contact (or replace the bulb holder with a new one). Hope this helps.
