They're W5W bulbs.
I bought these non error ones and they work fine for me.

I had my headlights out so mine were really easy to fit :wink:

How on God's beautiful Earth do you get those bloody sidelights out?
With the help of my wife's slender fingers I managed to get the headlight bulbs out and changed. Can I get more than one fingertip on the sidelight housing? Can I f**k!!!
I've got a pair of shiny new Philips Blue Vision w5w blubs sat on my passenger seat and I think that's as good as it's going to get. :cry: :cry: :angry:
Stupid sodding modern cars. A mate of mine has just bought an E30 235i, you can get the bulbs out of that 80s classic easily enough!! :grin:

Could be worse, you could drive a Megane - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZWqU9X6PR4
Ironically they use a MK5 Golf in comparison.

It's off with the bumper for the sidelights, I think! :undecided:
They have to make their money somehow. :rolleyes:

Not seen the MK6 siddelights but if they are anything like the MK5 ones then they are really stiff. I ended up using a pair of pliers to pull them out.
What a bloody pallava. :shocked:

Darned if I'm taking the bumper off just to get at a couple of tiddly £4.99 bulbs.............yet
Maybe pliers at the weekend,still don't know how I'm even going to get them in there. At least if I break something I have an excuse for a Xenon conversion!!!

Extracting teeth is not easy. You need to numb with an injection, both the car and yourself. :grin:

Maybe I need an oral injection of Guinness?

Mate, the bumper takes 20 mins to whip off :wink:
-
They are a bit stiff ( :huh: ), you just need to pull hard, they don't twist like the headlights.
I managed it, and i'm not a small bloke, some scuffed knuckles to prove it. :laugh:

Do you need to take the Headlight Washer covers off before removing the bumper ?

I can't even get my fingers in the hole far enough to get hold of the bulb holders, I can just about touch the thing with my fingertips. If it was a case of yank on the wires I'd be okay! :grin:

My luck never runs that smooth Herr Doktor. It'd take me several hours and most of the paint missing to get that done!
