got quite a problem - Gilmore - 22:nd-Aug-2014
went to change the indicator bulbs, the metal clip bit came off alltogether, realised i had the wrong bulb, so couldnt change them, couldnt get the metal clip back on, is there an easy way for access to it, like taking the arch liner out, or am i going to have to take the bumper off, also what bulbs do actually fit there?

Which do you have facelift or prefacelift?
if facelift you can take the unit out in prefacelift you the best person to ask would be [MENTION=2]tucpal[/MENTION].

So you go and pay dealership £45 labour to do it.

i'd rather spend the time taking the bumper off and do it myself, the bulbs seem a strange type, not like a normal indiacor bulb
