Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Anyone know how to replace the small side light bulb please?

POST 2Original post

You have to take the headlight out, and you'll then see a cap on the side of the unit which you undo (1/4 turn) to access the bulb. The whole process is shown in the owner's handbook.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks, the cap on the side comes out OK but the back of the bulb won't pull out or un-lock. The bulb doesn't look like a bulb either so I am scratching my head a bit on this.

POST 4Original post

Can you take a picture of where you have got to so far, especially the bulb that doesn't look like a bulb? It should look like this:

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks Richard, it doesn't look like this, it looks more LED-like using the NS one as a reference (which is working). Pic attached which I hope helps.

POST 6Original post

i just did this a few weeks ago - give it a 60deg twist anticlockwise and the black unit pulls out with the bulb on it the bulb is easily sourced

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks, I'll give it another go... Fingers crossed!
