Cravo Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 Fairly easy fella. In the boot take the plastic off the boot kid. Under there you will see some cables leading to where the locking mechanism is. Undo the two ten mil bolts that hold the metal brackets on and take those off then You have to twist the light holders till they pop out. Really fiddly but once you do it once its easy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MYK Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 These are the ones that I fit in mine. The reason I opted for these is that the original ones I twisted slightly when fitting and shorted them out causing a fuse to blow which caused me problems. So I went for these so it couldn't happen again. A lot more expenisve though but they are pure white and not blue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trebor4460 Posted January 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 As long as the fitment of the bulb is the same, and my guess it is as its a standard fit, just pull your side light bulband compare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
