How much to replace a sidelight bulb?
Discussion
Do you mean the ones in the orange, rectangular housings in front of the wheels? Those things are a nightmare to get to because the airboxes are in the way. The labor charge is coming from removing the front bumper cover, or removing the airboxes, or going painfully slowly without removing anything.

Around £6 to £7 for the bulb but £217 plus vat labour. So the 2 bulbs required equals over £500.
That is truly insane.
That's just ridiculous.That is truly insane.
I remember when the Bentley GT first came out, if the high level brake light failed then you needed to remove the rear screen to fix it. What sort of imbecile works that into a design and thinks perfect, I've done a great job.
I appreciate some things cannot be avoided (rare engine/box out repairs etc), but come on, consumables like bulbs ARE going to need replacing, so make it simple enough pleeeaaaassseeeeee.

And the tail lights on these cars are sealed units, so if a light stops working... new tail light assembly.I remember when the Bentley GT first came out, if the high level brake light failed then you needed to remove the rear screen to fix it.
