Default fit sidelight bulbs

I can't see how to access the sidelight bulbs, it looks very tight to replace them?
Bought some error free LED bulbs to put in but its way too tight in there to remove the sideslight bulbs

anyone shed any light?

The lenses pop out from outside. Use a corner of a credit card or similar to do this.

You can them out with a pair of long needle nose pliers and a lot of patience.

+1, you will have to experiment with different angles, but you will get them, and well worth the effort, especially if you have HIDs

Just don't borrow one of Max's tool to do the job and then break it in front of him

John-you only bent it!

And make sure to grease the oring before re-installation. Makes life MUCH easier.
