For £80 I'd want sucking off  :surprised:

As Greeners said £10-15 for a pair max.

Do they go in easily? I remember trying to swap out an indicator bulb, my right hand looked like I had a flight with a mad cat.

Or are the sidelights easier to get to?

Have to say the oem yellows don't look great next to the xenons.

This thread might be of interest to you CB.

Right hand light is easy to do, if your hands are as big and un-flexible as mine you will want some needle nose pliers (but be very careful what you pull on) the left side is a bit more of a pain, your best bet is to take the black cuboid object witht he pipes on top off its mounting bracket (sorry I dont know the name think is the fuel return box for fuel vapour, and it just slots on and off) this will make the process a whole lot easier!
