A few days away from Christmas and just noticed my passenger tail light isn't working, not a big job but annoying when I don't have enough time as it is!!

Only had the car a month - how easy is it to get to the bulbs? My last car was ancient so it was pretty easy!

oi u still want that sd card?? the bulbs are easy to change ill do it for ya if u want to meet for this card?

Yup, would have got it over the weekend but I wasn't at home for more than about 5 mins cos I was helping my mate move into her new flat in Havant!

Don't have any spare bulbs yet for the light as I only noticed on the way to work this morning, so got to find out which ones I need first.

i got a jar full of bulbs in my car lol

U know what fitting they are?

Can sort the card out after work if u like? I finish about 5 usually.

i cant tonight because i got work till 11 but tomorrow should be fine..

ok, I'll only be around for a couple of hours tomorrow though, going to the cinema at half 7!

The bulbs are a piece of bun to replace, even I can do it

yeah even i managed to do it, halfords sorted me a treat

Excellant, anyone care to tell a first timer how to do it?

Passenger side - Open the boot and pull back the carpet behind the light cluster, you'll then see the bulb holder. It has 2 little clip things either side, unclip them and it pulls away. Then you just pull out witch ever bulb is gone.

Drivers side - Same as above except there's 2 bits that turn and a flap that opens to reveal the bulb holder (has a green square with a qhite cross on it).

Hope that helps.

Lol, ok that does sound easy - even for me. Thanks!
