I couldn't get the bulb to turn (really difficult to get a grip on and hurt the fingers) but I managed to wiggle it out ok. It seemed to click back in place as well without turning. Good video, thanks for helping me out.

Hi The issue I had when trying to change the nearside bulb was that it was very awkward to get the bulb out. Web comments highlighted others having the same issue. I eventually solved the problem by removing the washer filler tube as others had described. and removing the connection Then borrowed a compact mirror, viewed the bulb in reverse!. 2 small spring holding clips retain the bulb. These have to be pushed in to release the bulb. I managed to push them in one at a time by viewing the mirror and pushing the clips in with a small flat screwdriver (I'm sure a dentist would have no problem here) The manufacturer must make a small tool which fits over the connections and pushes in the spring clips and pulls the bulb out in one move. Refitting the bulb is a straight push!

Fingers all over the bulb, job done

Very nice thank you! Had a toyota before and was looking for a similar locking pin, woulda saved me headaches to know it was this easy.

Thanks mate. You're a top man! Really helped me out this morning! 😊

You're not supposed to touch the glass.

Thanks Bharat - very useful :-)

so there's no need to take out air filter as I can't get hand down between chassis and filter cover!

Thanks for the advice mate
