Hi Folks,

I'm having the light pobs colour coded whilst having a small scratch painted as well. Only thing is can someone tell me how the lights come out, I've spotted the screws on the inner wing, do I just undo these and removing the beeding and pull them out forwards ???
Any help gratefully recieved before I bu**er it up.

It's a nasty job. Best remove the front wheel, undo the electrical connectors via the hatch then the screws, now use a sharpened lolly pop stick or similar (wood) thingy to break the silicon paste between the body and perspex, wrestle with till objective achieved

IIRC I pulled mine out from the front - but as there's nothing to get hold of I cut a hole in the middle of each to make a handle! (NB I was throwing them away anyway!)

After my driver's side light fell into the wing, I had to re-fix it. No matter what I tried I couldn't get the thing out. Obviously it must come - it went in originally after all - but I couldn't work it out.

I don't even think removing the indicator or pod bracket bolt would have helped.

In the end I managed OK without removing it - not much help if you're removing for a respray, but worth bearing in mind if you just have to re-fix the thing.
