Let there be light

[TomPob]

One of my front lights doesn't work correctly. Only side light. Anyone know if this could be a bulb, relay, fuse issue.. The other side it fine...
How do I change a bulb init etc..

Tompob,

The one and only time I have changed lights, it was a front grill off type job. (Mines a 95 chim). It's fairly easy to do, the hardest bit is getting the grill back in the rubber, you just have to be very carfull. Do a search on front grill or headlights, and you will probably find some threads.

Sounds like your bulb has blown. Mine did that a while a go. I tried going in via the front, but my arm was too wide.

I ended up taking the wheel arch cover off and going in that way. It's a bit like trying to thread a needle in the dark, but just about doable. Also managed to do it without taking the wheel off.

headlight bulb needs changing
later chims have a hatch in the wheel arch liner you reach through and do it (gyneacology training helpful)
i've done it twice now, tried both ways and i would take the wheel off every time
when u put it back on, torque it correctly and check it after 100 miles
well thats what i do anyway...

More problems than just the light at the moment, but mines a early 1994 chim.. What bulb is it anyway?

i took the bulb out and took it to the shop, cos i was told it could be one of two...

Right...weekend of ignition and bulb work.. prob going to be about -30 tomorrow and my fingers will snap off while trying to get the bulb out.. Roll on the summer..
