Hi everyone , please can you help me. I`m trying to replace a nearside side light but can`t seem to free it . Do i have to remove the battery to gain access or is there a easier way. if anyone knows how to please let me know.

Hi mate,

You will need to take the bumper off the car to replace the headlight - theres two bolts beneath bumper level. You wont need to take the battery out, but the indicator, and bumper are a must!

See here for how to take the bumper off - will take 20 mins tops

Its an excellent guide

haha

lol!

Ye, for ease of access remove the battery...it makes life a hell of alot easier, tho you can do it without removing the battery - the way the sidelight comes out, is by squeezing and tugging hard on the fitting (or the wires if your careful). It takes a while to get a good grip on it

Battery comes off by just unbolting the bolt on the bracket nearest the front of the car. You can probably just push it back and out the way so you wont have to fiddle with removing the wiring on top
