Replacing my sidelight front bulbs

[Phate]

Hello all,

Right, want to replace my front sidelight bulbs because the main lights are white and not 'orange' so when my headlights are on, white sidelights will compliment them.

So, which fitting and how easy is it to replace them?

Thanks all :)

i did mine in just 5 mins m8 i used a pair of long nose pliers to pull them out and they are easy to put back

I gave up trying on my 180, hands were too big and my kids are grown up so couldn't use them ;)

I think (IIRC) they are '501' bulbs in the sidelights. I can't say how easy / hard they'd be to change as i've not had to do it yet.

They are very easy to do as long as you can get your hands to them. There are no fiddly clips to hold them in place it is just a matter of pulling the bulb holder out and push back when complete. The bulbs are just push fit.

Cheers guys :)

Shall order some '501' white bulbs today! :)

Many Thanks,

ive put loads of diffrent 501 bulbs in halfords have some white LED they are super bright but after a while they seem to start to flicker so i put some amber bulbs in they look good

Ive got Xenon Blue sidelights on mine. They look quite nice, but Im not 100% sure theyre legal so Ive been thinking of getting some white ones.

Easy peasy job to do - on a mk2 atleast.
