changing sidelights:(

[JJ_5DOORCORSA]

was trying to change my sidelights earlier as i bought some xenon bulbs and got some sidelights free with em, so went to try and fit them but omg those sidelights are soooo hard 2 remove and eventually gave up. thought id go to vauxhall 2moro coz after reading a few threads on ere i thought id be able to do it but its way 2 hard!

anybody know how much vauxhall charge for fitting sidelights, roughly?
:doublethumbs:

You seriously gonna pay vx just to change sidelight ?

Drop the bumper its like 10mins of work!

[flash22]

Are they the little bulbs with like a blue film over them?? If so then don't put them in, i got some with my bulbs and after literally 2 days the coating burned off to leave a super yellow.

Advice: Buy white led bulbs.

[JJ_5DOORCORSA]

if im guna drop the bumper dont i need stands to put the car on? coz i aint got any.:( and if my ones do go from blue to yellow then defo will buy leds, but ebay page did say they were guna b white leds, but that was b*llocks!

Sidelights you dont need to drop the bumper :s

[JJ_5DOORCORSA]

tried to do it earlier without droppin bumper and it was soooo hard couldnt get the bulb 2 come out.

[corsa_chris]

Easy job if you have small hands i guess all i did was get my hand in on the wire and try to grab plastic holder that the sidelight bulb sits in the i just twisted it and it pulls out.
