Fitting of side light bulbs ?
 
Hi All
Just a quick question how easy is it to fit side light bulbs as I have one out , baring in mind I am not to good on my feet and can't really get down on the floor or is it easy enough to do from the engine bay ?
Many thanks.

Fairly easy, remove rubber cap, reach in under the main bulb & pull the holder out. Replace bulb & refit.

I had enough trouble trying to do the nearside one on my Mk2 ZT and trying to get my hand in. I'm sure I didn't have such problems when I had my Mk1 with Xenons?

I got these from eBay for a couple of pounds.

They reduce bulb-fitting frustration (BFF).

I thought going through the removable panel holes under the wings would give more room and be easier. Bit difficult from the top unless you have small flexible hands.

Artery clamp, if you're looking on eBay ;-)

Yup. Holds a T10 bulb nicely. I have a straight nosed pair as well.
