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:

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!
