Sorry mods feel free to move shortly but I want to get a swift respone in The Lounge first.

How the hell do I get at the side repeaters in the wings?? The manual expains changing every bulb except these! I rang up the local dealer who said they'd ring me back and didn't. Have tried prying them off but to no avail as I don't want to crack them or scratch the paint!

ARGH!

ETA: I'm only wanting to change a duff bulb! smile

Isn't it from inside through the inner wing? I think there's a plastic protector in the wheel arch you have to remove first, but not entirely sure.

If they are the same as the Bora you have to pull hard to one side - but I'm not sure which - and they slide across then pull out.
There may be an arrow to indicate (no pun intended) which way you have to slide.






Blimey, a car question on PH! Hang on, erm, MX5.

Yes this seems to be it. Been out and bought a Haynes manual. Looks to be a bit of a pain in the arse. Take the cover off and literally push the light through the hole to access it.

Guess what I'll be doing tomorrow!? Cheer for your replies guys! smile
