This was extremely helpful David! The right was a breeze, the left was impossible. This tutorial was perfect, I appreciate them specificity like using 10mm - saved me a lot of time!
There is no need to remove the light unit. If you just reach in, you can find the bulb holder, twist & remove. I will say that if you find it difficult with one arm, try the other, as sometimes it's magically easy using the right arm, infernally difficult with the left (or vice versa).
Hi mate, how about the break light at the top of the reverse and indicator light? Its like a round type light and i dont know how to replace it.. do i really need to break the cover and just put an adhessive again when im done replacing it?
I chickened out and got the guy at Halfords to fit my driver side tail light. He was able to do it without removing the full unit. However, this video was useful to see that its considerably easier to fit than a front headlight. Thanks.
I heard that Halfords can be good for the front lights too, which are very difficult to fit. I found a 10 year old who did my last one as he climbs and has very strong fingers but an adult hand can't get to the bulb.
@@davidzof I managed the front passenger side myself ( just) bt i have very skinny fingers. The driver side requires the total removal of the front panel which you are no doubt aware. One day! :)

I will concede that making a youtube of the way I did it would require extreme camera skills/tech.
Thanks for the video.

I can't take the bulb off. Is there a trick to it?? You don't struggle in the video lol.
Hi Iris, not that I remember. They are just push in bulbs. Hope you got things sorted.
Thanks. Still silly that i have to use a socket thing. Im sure my husband has one.
Crazy isn't it?
