Thread: Changing courtesy bulbs

Just changed these in the dark and the difference is amazing - really crisp xenon light! Now just have to change the glovebox and vanity mirror bulbs and also fit a couple of custom LED's in the boot to add more light. Next on my list is parking sensors (finally!) and puddle lights!

Next time you are in B & Q, purchase a rubber or soft plastic suction cap, used for sticking things to tiles etc in the kitchen or bathroom. Press it on to the light lens covers and gently pull. The covers will come off as clean as a whistle, without any damage, so better than using a small screwdriver which could leave marks, small dents and scuffs. Also perfect for removing wheel centre caps, without any damage.

The rear one just clicks off with the above mentioned small flat screwdriver. The front one clicks off from the side (small screwdriver again) and then carefully follow it round rather than pull it off solely from one side. With the front one you may have to jiggle the LED's a bit. The hole in the panel that the bulbs slot through is not that generous and may offer resistance when clicking back as LED's are sometimes wider than...

It's in the manual buddy ......tells you what comes off and where to lever off. But you will need a small flat blade screwdriver to prise the covers off....... Andy
