Blown bulb or fuse ?

[bomb]

My offside spotlight has decided to stop working. I suspect its just in need of a new bulb.

What's the easy way in to it ?? ( as I have not taken them to bits yet).

Failing the bulb replacement, is there a specific fuse to check ? The nearside on works OK.

Thanks.....

Yes there is life out here bomb, but not as you know it......

Mine is a '92 Pre-cat, but should be similar. All I need to do is remove the large grille underneath the nose and then access the back of the spots/main beam units. Carefully pull back the rubber weather seal (if you have them), remove the bulb connection, release the clip retaining the bulb, remove bulb. Reverse to replace. If your Griff is a later 500, not sure if you have same grill arrangement, but definitely you have the same light units. All the best, Pete

def bulb....... this is high beam not a spot light, so both work on the same circuit

never changed one though so no idea.... go with above post

OK chaps. Thanks for the advice. I have not had a chance to crawl under the car yet ( too busy commuting this week !), but will have a look at the weekend.
