Re: Side light change
Hello,
This section is more just for saying your Hello's to the club etc but to quickly answer your question the by far easiest way to get at them is to take the headlight out. 3nr 10mm bolts, 2 at the top of the light with the other 1 hidden behind the plastic bit running along the front between the lights (if that makes sense). This of course is for gen3 up only. If your gen1 or 2 I don't know best method of getting at them.
Anyway welcome to the club.

Re: Side light change
Cheers Glen, not too good on forums..wasn't sure where to put a question but thanks for the response. Does the bulb holder come out through the rear of the light.?
I usually have a Haynes manual but they don't do one for my coupe..a gen 3.5 I think...

Re: Side light change
As said before best to take lights out take off cap and then pull lamp holder out
Led 501s are the best you can get. Just buy decent ones though
