Slightly off topic. How on earth do you change the side lights? Think you need the hands of a 14 year old to get in there! Seriously how do they come out? Twist? Pull?
If you use a little pair of long nose pliers it makes the job easier, battery side is worse if I remember. tip... put a little vaseline on the fitting when you stick it back in.
thanks for the tip, so do they just pull out then??
Obviously im not pulling hard enough (ooer mrs) and they twist too, which I why I thought they twisted out
The other reviews on the forum suggest removing the headlight to this work but it really is not necessary. I used my phone to take a picture of the light so I knew what I was looking for. I then used a needle nosed pliers with a 45° angle to grip the light housing. From the picture shown the sidelights have 2 cables coming off and the housing is an orangey-brown. Grip the housing NOT THE CABLE firmly with the pliers and pull directly out. Grip the original bulb firmly with your fingers and just pull out from the holder. Make sure you give the new bulb a quick wipe with a microfiber cloth before you plug it back in.
Tip: To make sure you’re getting the right light, turn on the sidelights to get an idea of where it is located but be sure to turn them back off before removing,
The driver side is a little more tricky because there’s a few things in the way. You can still get at it with pliers but you’re doing it blind so use your phones internal camera to see what you’re gripping or alternatively remove the front grill, loosen the headlight and pull out at a slight angle to get a better view. You don’t need to take the bumper off because you’re only tilting the headlight to one side.
