Post by: jackass1989 on 26 September 2007, 19:01
i was just changeing my original side repeaters for smoked ones, and me being an idiot left the car with out the side repeater cover on, and the loom and bulb have falling into the side panel, is their any easy way to get to this , or is it a fact of getting something in the hole where the bulb comes out and having a fiddle to get it back out lol, cheers for any help.

undo the wheel arch liner bolts and you should be able to reach it.

Remove the plastic scuttle panel and you will see where the wire goes into the wing. Pull it out into the engine bay and tape a stick or something rigid to it and then look through the hole on the wing and aim for it! It can also help if you turn the indicators on as it is quite dark inside a wing.  :smiley:

Arch liner bolts, you only need to undo a couple to bend it enough to get your hand in. I know cos i did the exact same thing fitting mine!  :smiley:

Turn the flasher on so you can see it through the hole, reach in with a coathanger wire bent with a hook on the end and fish it out!
