I see you managed to change the sidelights, can you give me any tips on how to extract the original bulbs?

It's quite fiddly but you don't need to twist or turn the original bulb holder.

It is actually a pull off fitting. You pull it straight out but it's a tight fit so you pull and also wobble it if it makes sense... lol

How did you manage to get your hand in on the side of the fuse box?
