Which side? I can't remember if access is easy or not. The indicators are in a yellow/olive plastic
housing which should just twist out (it's about 1/4 turn if I remember rightly). I have a feeling you
might need v.small hands though.....

I had this same problem yesterday! I have a pre-facelift (1998) however so the headlights are different. The indicator section comes apart alright, but could only do that (last time) by taking the headlights out which requires removing the bumper. This cant be the correct way to do it!

Any advise most appreciated!

I just could not get to my front driver's side indicator (and I don't have big hands!) on my facelift sedan ended up putting in the local garage.. a bit embarrassing really!
