Try a Fiesta! The ZS is a piece of cake compared to it. Seriously... It took me over an hour to replace 2 headlight bulbs in a mates.

update!

no sign of the new bulbs yet 2 days after the supposed next day delivery, so it had to go back together again... thankfully it did!



Apart from this bit



Do you think finding another will be easy enough? What is it called?

Finished off some other bits while I was at it today

Try a 2004 VW Passat

Intheory its possible but Auto express says the process is complicated and requires diagnostic equipment and a beam light check afterwards.

VW Recommends you visit a dealership to get the bulbs changed

I've just spent 15 minutes looking through the parts department here as well as on the system and can't find it it's not broken off the bumper is it?

Or you can do what I do when things won't fit properly.............belt it hard with a hammer...............if that doesn't get it..............try harder

Luckily tonight I had Carmadbaker and Wilko giving me a hand installing my ICE..........and proof in the pudding............I cocked up the only bit I touched
