Front sidelights on the 400.

[JumboBeef]

I asked this in another thread but it might be a bit lost there.

How do you get into the front sidelights on the 400? I have some LEDs I want to fit.

Thanks.

From behind - the lenses are siliconed in place. A bit fiddly, the lamp holder is held on with a couple of plastic clips - be careful not top break them. Unplugging some of the wiring should give a bit more play.

I pushed my hand up from behind and underneath. Takes about two minutes to change a bulb. Strange that I used to take my car to a so-called tvr specialist and they whinged that to change a sidelight bulb they would have to unstick the lens, then silicone it back in... like a mug I trusted them. Ho hum.

Thanks.

I had a rootel around in there but couldn't work out how to get the bulbs out. I'll have another go.

I think I put my hand through the side of the radiator mesh maybe? Once you find the route it's easy.

I changed mine when the splitter was off which makes it easier.

The pain, on my car anyway, is the plywood by the side of the rad it right in the way...

Good luck. Its doobable but you will scratch your head and say "SERIOUSLY?!! LOL!

It's only easy when you know how. Otherwise, we put our trust in the hands of the so called 'specialists'.
