Headlight

Hi guys, quick question i haven't been able to find the answer to through the search function.

After my slight incident with a kerb the other week, my nearside headlight has "popped" out and is hanging loose inside the wing. Not had a chance to look at how to replace it due to work. Don't think it will be too hard if i can get in behind it but not sure how.

Is there a easy access within the service or main bonnet?

You have to take the main bonnet off. Once this is done, you'll see a triangular shaped cover in line with the lights, held on by 2 screws. Taking this off gives access to inside the wing.

I have the same problem with my indicator. When cleaning the car I pressed on it and it's half fallen back inside the wing. The thing is I can't see what's supposed to hold it in - it looks like it was glued in?

Cheers for that, will have a look at it tomorrow. Not sure about the indicator but the headlight seems to have a couple of points to screw in, hope I haven't broken anything. If not, mastic will be used to secure it back in place.

The front indicators are glued in position, assume the same for the lights - there has been other threads on this in the past - removal can be the interesting bit! I must admit when I needed to change the indicator I used Racing Green.
