Smile Front Side/Parking Light Bulb Replacement

Hi - I just replaced both these bulbs - its a bit of a fiddle but only took about 15 mins total. The manual tells us to remove the headlamp units to gain access to the bulbs, which are indeed difficult to get at. However, it can be done without doing this. With great care and lots of patience, use a flat screwdriver to push against the moulded ridge of the bulb holder to gently rotate it, one quarter of a turn anticlockwise and wriggle it loose. Then pulling on the wires remove it from its socket. The bulb holder is just a bayonet fitting. Pull the bulbs from the sockets and push in the new ones. (I fitted some cool ice blue ones) Again, holding the wires, wriggle the bulb holders back into their sockits, and while holding them in place, rotate them clockwise with your flat screwdriver to secure. A tiny bit of lubricant on the rubber sealing ring will help it rotate more freely. Good Luck !
