Title: Replacing Sidelight Bulb on a Mk 3 SE
Post by: rstaveley on 16 November 2010, 13:13

I have a P reg Mk 3 SE 1800 and I need to replace the front passenger sidelight bulb. The manual with the car is not helpful: basically I can remove the black plastic headlamp assembly cover but can't work out how to remove the old bulb. I'm sure it's very simple, if you know how to do it! Can anyone help please?

Little silver clip undone? Does it twist out?

Sidelight bulbs should just be a push fit  :undecided:

Main beam/dipped beam have those metal clips  :smiley:
