Now for the next question

 

how do you remove orange ones and fit these to the do-luck bumper? There are 2 screws at the back of the lense, butni cant see how to get behind the bumper???

 

Full lock left to get to the right side, you will need to unscrew the mudguard in at the wheel.

 

Full lock right to get to the left side then as above.

 

It MIGHT be easier to just take the wheel off but i did it all in situe without much hassle.

Hmmmm just tried to get my oem side markers out, and failed :(

 

i undid a screw on the top part of the inner arch, but the bit underneath seemed stuck so couldn't get anywhere close to it. How many parts/screws are u meant to remove?

 

Waited all this bloody time to get these and now cant fit them :rolleyes:

Headlights are easy, unplug connectors to bulbs, one bolt near main beam unit near slam panel, 2 nuts down in the wing area near fog bulb, then lift it out, should leave you enough room to access the indicators

 

Yeah when I said understray I pretty much meant any plastic panel under the front/wheel arch area, I'd keep them on permanently if possible

Told you how to do it, remove front wheel, remove arch liner by removing screws and folding it down (with the wheel out of the way this is a pisscase).

 

Undo the 2 nuts on the light and swap them over.

 

Reverse the process.

 

Its soooooooooooo easy.

Yeah i no mate. I took part of the arch lining off but then the bit nearest the front bumper seemed stuck but wasn't screwed into anythin. But i didnt take the wheel off i just had it on full lock.

 

I will try again at the wkend as it does seem a piece of p!ss and its embarassing!!!!

Its screwed underneath to the undertray & the bumper. In other words the screws are pointing upwards.

 

Easiest way to get past this is to take the wheel off so that you can simply fold it backwards to gain access.

I did mine on Sunday, and they have taken years off the car. It just makes it look cleaner. I guess it's the fact that you are lulled into clear = modern sublinguilly.

 

If I thought the first was a bitch to change, imagine my horror when I got to the passenger side where the washer bottle and coolers were. Mind you, as I didn't have a ring spanner that small, I ended up trying to do it with a medium sized adjustable spanner! :rolleyes:

 

I'll sort out a piccy soon

 

For sale, 2 orange ones!

Removing the wishbone pin is a PITA cause of that bloody washer bottle. I had to remove the whole lot. Didn't have any trouble with the markers though.
