Keethos 842 Report post Posted July 21, 2014 - By the side indicator, along the inner wheel arch liner, use a Philips screw driver to remove the plastic twist push rivet - Once removed, stick a thin screw driver through the push rivet's hole and then push the screw driver away from you so you pop the side indicator out towards you (give it some, it will pop out) - Pull out the rest of the indicator (there are 3 metal clips holding the indicator in, the top one pops out when you pry it out with the screw driver, the other two are towards to the bottom of the indicator unit which you just pull out from) - Twist the indicator unit to remove the plastic housing for the light - Pull out the bulb that's connected to the plastic stalk (note, if you wish to re-use the bulb, try not to touch it with dirty fingers, grip it with something clean that you can then put away without getting any dirt or grease on it) - Push in the new bulb (again, holding the bulb with something clean so you don't get any dirt or grease on it) (in Faith's case, the new indicator housing has LED's so you don't plug a bulb back in, just the connectors for the LEDS) - Slide the indicator plastic housing back over the bulb (or connector in Faith's case) and twist to lock back in position - Push the stalk back into the bumper hole area and then fit the bottom 2 metal clips into position and then push the last top metal clip into position until it clicks (Note that the indicators that Faith brought didn't fit/lock into position very well as the metal clips are slightly different shape so it might take a fair bit of fettling to get it into position) - Push the in the plastic twist push rivet and then twist it to screw it in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike 458 Report post Posted July 23, 2014 I don't mind helping anyone at a meet, providing I've done it previously or know for certain how to do it! Then again, it was only supposed to take 5mins not the 20 or so it ended up taking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keethos 842 Report post Posted July 24, 2014 I don't mind helping anyone at a meet, providing I've done it previously or know for certain how to do it! Then again, it was only supposed to take 5mins not the 20 or so it ended up taking LOL, I put that down to purely not wanting to damage Faith's car but not giving it enough push......that plus it had been so long since I last did it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
