Changing rear bulbs
« on: 13 January 2009, 13:00 »
I would just like to say what a pain in the arse it is to take out the rear light bulbs. And on removing the cluster it just touched the boot light and blue a fuse. I then had no internal lights or remote locking. After checking the fuses I found it was Fuse 14, small 10A fuse. I will take out the boot light before fitting a rear bulb in the future. Just happy it was only 30p to fix.

I thought the other day how easy the NS bulbs were to change compared to my other car.  Needed to do a brake and reverse light, only the bulb holder board itself needs to come out?

I'm looking forward to the fronts.  The Megane ones are insane.  It's often easier to take the whole front bumper off.

There looks like a load of room though!  Mind you, bumper is coming off to be changed for a new re-painted one soon.
