How to get sidelight bulb out?

Post by aaronon »

Hey!

This might be a stupid question but I've taken off the rubber cover. Unhooked the wee metal things. Pulled the bulb holder out..... But I can't actually pull the bulb out of the thing it's plugged into! :(

Can anyone help?

Are you sure you mean the side light? Because you just pull them to take it out and there is no metal harnes over it, but the main beam have the harness around them and then you have to kinda twist them put of place as there in another bracket

I'm a numpty! You were right!

The sidelight was out.... But I poked it and must have fixed it!

But the bulb I was trying to get out was the main beam! And I touched the bulb so it blew! :(:( They're in the same wee bit of light :(

I've cost myself a new full beam bulb lol. But at least sidelights and main are working! :)

Haha no way I'm just buying the one as that passenger side light section is hell to mess with so I just cry if I ever need a bulb in there!
