    Bumper off, headlight out change the bulb, put back together.

    Half hour job.
     
  4. Bumper what !
    headlight what
    really I will put up with the crappy yellow coloured standard bulb

    i have tried through the little cover in the inner wing, and tried pulling windscreen filler out the way but just can't get my paws in there,
     
  5. As above, much easier than ripping the skin off your hands

    it's easier to go in through the arch liners
     
  7. I changed full beam and sidelights from the top without removing anything. Took me about 30 minutes to do it the first time my full beam went, I can do both in about 5 minutes now though lol.
     
  8. I struggled to get in through the engine bay when I had to change mine, bumper literally off in 5min simple job and by far the easiest, saves all the little scratches lol
     
  9. I replaced all my bulbs yesterday, I took the arch liner off on the O/S, and the batterie off on the N/S, I didn't want to remove the bumper as I hear sometimes its a pig to go back right were it fits to the wings and can keep popping out.

    It takes 10 mins to take a bumper off.
     
  11. I didn't do it that way as didn't want to risk the problem with it keep popping out as some people seem to have had with it, but deff the easy way to do it.

    The popping out is because it hasn't been put back correctly - if you make sure it's clipped in correctly it'll never pop out.
     
  13. Right, ive not had it off yet so didn't know about the clips, but I suppose i will find out when i put a new intercooler on.
     
  14. +1 the way I always do it with the steering on full lock.
     
  15. Your day will come young man, have patience.
     
  16. It will, just getting all the bits first, only wana take it off once.
     
  17. i saw that too but thought the better of it lol..

  19. I went wheel and arch limers completely off to do mine wasnt that easy bit got there in the end the drivers fog lighg was hardest to wiggle into position because of the massive washer fluid tank in the way
