Anyone changed bulbs?
Any advice? I fought with the driver side, thats done, but the passenger looks worse! ive changed on cornering light but the other came out and didnt bring the blue connector cable for me to hook back to - anyone else have this issue? its like they built the light housing badly and trapped the wire too low.

Yes it is very bad, I tried to put the cover back on today and after 2 hours later, sore back, and countless cuts still no luck.

The EU has some law saying all cars must be able to have the owner change simple things like headlight bulbs/turn signal bulbs and what not. This is why cars come with simple hand tools. Its some sort of EU law.
Funny thing is most cars you can not do this that easily. From what I remember the MB A-class, Smart and the Renault Megan were the worse. On the Renault you had to R&R the front bumper! Took most dealers two hours labor(+) charge, to swap out the H7 headlight bulbs. Sounds like its the same with our 1-er's. |
