Title: Front indicator bulb help
Post by: Jons1001 on April 26, 2021, 03:05:46 pm

Firstly I'll apologise for being an idiot but trying to change the driver's side front indicator bulb and I can't find it! YouTube says its a simple twist and pull tab that should be visible straight away and another website says it's under the inner most circular cap.

There's another plastic insert below the main beam cover:

Turn this 90 degrees counterclockwise and pull it out to get to the indicator bulb.

I still can't find it!  :laugh:

Here's the two caps I can see, and can't see/feel anything under either.

But here is another cap which looks like it houses the xenon bulb?

Again can't see/feel anything underneath. This is very tight aswell can't really get under it.
