I wish I was able to see it on mine, but I tried once and can't even get near the bulbs.... they are stupidly hard to remove.. I can feel lots of wires, but not got a clue what I have my hands on ! Probably end up taking it to the garage to do it [:(!]

Try dropping the bumper to get to the headlight units, took me less than 45minutes, there's a 'How To' guide knocking around on here somewhere. It isn't difficult mate and would save you money.

Well.. after fiddling about, swearing lots and generally cutting my hands to pieces, for an hour and 50 minutes, i've managed to fit the indicator bulbs ! what a total mare. Words cannot express how annoyed I was on saturday afternoon ! How does removing the bumper help you get to the bulbs though ? Damn me and my lack of diy experience and confidence ! [:(!] [:(]

You take the light units out, sit them on your lap and put the bulbs in.

Only 4 torx screws (I think) and a wiring plug per light.

Yaz are all mad. Theres no need to take the bumper off or the battery out. I took my car to a small mechanics in Belfast where I had noticed a sign that said they specialise in German cars. The mechanic was able to change them in ten minutes for me, he had to remove the battery cover but thats it.

And mines a 150 with AC and washer jets for the lights, so theres little room. I guess ya just have to be nimble with your fingers. I had tried for an hour and couldnt even get one bulb out never mind a new one in.
 
Bit of a thread from the dead this one but is Shaq still alive??

I tried sending him a PM towards the beginning of the week and no reply so far.

Would like to get some LED bulbs from him...
