Turned out that I had located the spring correctly but what I didn't realise is that you have to also wind the spring back around itself.Pig of a job but doable.

Hi leebob.


Hhhhoooowwww?????????
I wanted to. Check the bulb was working but found the wire was not plugged in. Traced it under the stereo but couldn't get to it during a lunch break, mounted it back in.  Still can't get to it. Took the glove box out......ping one light in three pieces.

Where do you put the first leg to wind the second leg round...and where does that live?


Thanks in advance. :-)
