Title: Megane headlight bulb
Post by: MR MISTER on 19 January 2014, 21:05:08
One has gone on the wife's car. Was dreading doing it as I've heard all the stories about taking bits off, but looks surprisingly easy:

Can't be bothered to look at the vid Uncle STEMO.  ::)   But isn't that the one where you get at it via a little hatch in the wheel arch lining?  :-\ and have to take the wheel off?!!  :o  ;D

Take it to Halfords and then "supervise" them fitting it.

Best £6.99 you will ever spend......

EU cars have to be able to have bulbs changed by average Joe Bloggs with the car's tool kit, roadside, in 15 mins (I think).

There is a get-out-of-jail-free card for manufacturers, extensively taken up by Audi, is to class it as "dealer only".

Hahahahahaha.........................hahahahaha

I can't wait to hear how you get on with this mate. The way you will end up doing it is taking the bumper off. Trust me on that ;)

And TB... yes they have made provisions for an average Joe to change the bulb...however said 'Joe' must have the ability to put his hand through the small hole in the wheel arch and hinge his arm from the middle of his forearm then bend his hand backwards to find you can't get any sort of hold on the bulb  ;D

Bloke at work has a M3. He says the front bumper needs removing for the dipped HIDs  ??? ???

I have been told that, will be interesting to see....... :y :y  I understand that it is easy on a Chevy, just stick arm down the back and change it, he does like a practical car......... :D :D

Actually although access is through the front wheel arch they aren't bad to change especially if you've done one before
