Great vid! I'm trying to replace this sidelight on the right side (when looking at the engine). This is supposed to be the easier side. However, I can't seem to locate this dust cap at all. If I were to describe its placement on the right headlight (when facing the engine), is it on the top of the 'far side' lamp or the NEAR side lamp?
It is tricky. I didn't try form the right hand side myself. Then just replace the front bumper is the only option I guess. You will have to have a special key for undo the front bolts near by front grill. This is the most complex bit without special tool. Once put it back don't tight them too much for the next time replacement.
On the other side you have the ABS modulator which you wont be able to just move also you cant just pull the bulb out as I think the holders need to be twisted.
1st thing 1st. You have to make sure you use proper bulb type, You have to make sure you have no other electric faults or not damaged wires while did the replacement. I was advice you to do diagnostic firstly. I will make a video once I have more time, how do I do diagnostic. Follow my channel if you interesting about it.
@@fixbentley2203 Thank you very much. I was told by a mechanic, because abnormal electric circuits detected then it was shut by the computer, remove the fault code may fix it, but Led bulb needs to be a right one.
@@jehu8822 Yes I wasn't use LED bulbs. 1st - because they different light colour than genuine, second LED heats too much I was afraid to damage housing, 3rd - I am using recommended by Bentley parts, 4th reason I wasn't sure how they will meet together with Bentley computer if they actually controlled by computer. I personally think they aren't as when mine is gone I haven't seen any warning lights on my dashboard neither in my diagnostic computer and the final reason they are quite fast and easy to replace even if the next one will gone. I don't think I will soon replace it as this one was working for 14 years. I saw on some internet forums guys were using Philips LED, but I decided to use the normal one. I hope it helps, Try to buy cheap one and check if that works. it is very likely the bulbs you bought incompatible. Try to check voltage as well once bulb removed to make sure you have power there at all.
Easy as well, lift the car -> remove the front bumper -> remove headlight unit -> replace the bulb. They made it specially inaccessible for YOUR safety!!!
Thanks for this cause both mines just went out today

Thank you!!
I’ll try it!!
Have you tried doing it the opposite side because I have relatively small yet wide hands and there is no way its coming out.
No I didn't actually, but it might be possible from other side as well
3 days and still unable to get it out...
hello what's the number for that little bulb #194? and for the high beams what's the #? 9005?
hello, I don't remember. I highly recommend you to get one of DVD I have. If you want to service this car yourself you definitely must have one.

Excellent vid 👍
I also think due to the minor differences with the Speed or 2009 models on this procedure may not work.
not sure about 2009, mine 2006. Tight but possible
Thanks!
I’ll try it!!😉
Thanks!
No problem!
Excellent!!!
I changed them , but they are not working?

Why the music
That side is possible but the otherside it is almost impossible. while at it use LED which at least will last longer...
Then you have to remove front bumper + front wing, remove the all headlight unit and replace the bulb. Sorry about that.
Unfortunately There is no other way or tool that can help, I try everything u can imagine. @@scratchercatcher6760
lovely
I would also mention you fail to refer to the very brittle MAF sensor cables, my advice do not cut corners Bentley owners, do the job properly.
Agree, Properly to remove bumper but I made it easy for 20 minutes with no hassle
That's a sidelight bulb, they're easy, try the Headlamp bulb like your title!!!
