can someone just help me out step by step because im seriously just maybe misunderstanding this manual a bit, my first car and well taken care off otherwise but im going to kick these lights off !!:slayer::bang: YEAH
 
I think it is a case of get in the engine bay with a pair of long nose pliers.
I think there is a round hole that you can see the indicator through.

Squeeze the two teeth on the indicator, ad it should come out easily.

Its either in the engine bay or up inside the wheel arch, after you take the liner out.
 
up inside the wheel arch
That´s the way and I hate it.
You´ll have to take the wheel of.
Unfasten the plastic cover of the wheel arch.
Then you can reach the side indicators from the inside.
That really sucks . So I got some after market indicators
where you can the glass off from the outside.
 
:mad: $@##$^& !!!! .... will try this saturday but im really not keen on taking the wheel off for such a small little light tbh
 
Heres a picture of the headlights indicator mountings.

There is a large securing tab on the indicator, its visible from inside the engine bay, that clips behind tab #1 in the picture below.

There are also two channels (#2) the groves on the indicator slide backwards into them, above & below the removal tab (#1).

To remove the OS indicator you gently press the indicator securing tab (outwards, towards the indicator) a few mm with your left hand while gently pushing the indicator forwards with your right hand outside the car.

It may be a little sticky due to dirt in the sliding channels, gently move your hand on the lens as you slide it forwards to dislocate it.

ah wait...

do you mean the side repeaters, or the main units?
 
the small round side indicators between the wheel and the side mirrors of the car . theres no space to put my hand in behind the wheel , i cant see any space to get my hand in , interior wise or exterior :yuck:

ok somehow the left side indicator is not dead or half dead , it seems that the light bulb has slided out a bit and now the indicator is flashing through the door HAHA ! ive replaced all the other lights fine its just these two im having trouble with sigh
