Changing bulbs

[valleyforge1]

Have we got any information on changing bulbs on the 'sport'

1. Little bulb in the housing over the number plate.

2. Brake bulb.

3. The side light bulb under the headlight. Passenger side

Can't help you with rear bulbs on a saloon...

But just to cheer you up, the sidelights are a bastard. Remove the rubber boot around the base of the dip beam bulb. It's also easier if you remove the dip beam bulb itself (if you're proficient with the clip). Then you have to get a very strong grip on the brass housing that holds the sidelight bulb, and squeeze the two sides inwards, and it will (eventually) unclip. Usually involves pliers and lots of swearing.

1. You need to unscrew two screws on each side of each number plate light and then its a matter of slide and unclip the unit off.

2. To my knowledge you have to remover the rear light by getting to and undoing the four bolts on the back.

3. This is a mission one, only because the lack of space. As Isaac said, squeezing these two clips will take out the blub. Personally I take out the battery so that you can get you hand.

That's right - but first you have to remove about 3 plastic turn-screws on the trim inside the boot to get that off first, then the four bolts that n13lpm says.

My experience was to then finally tap and unit from behind on the bolts while wobbling it from the front... Tip! Stand infront of the rear light unit as you do this, so your body stops it from popping out, and falling down on the bodywork, dangled by the lights that are still connected to the rear of the unit.

Looking at about 10 minutes each side to remove and replace the unit.
