Why it was all off I checked and cleaned all the pipework - clips , then I spent ages making sure it was all inline looking as it should .

I wasn't going to pay £250 for a garage to change a bulb , hence taking my time and doing it myself . First and last I hope . :audibash: :audibash:

Only joking mate :) I know it's a pain to do it first time or even second.. but after 20+ times, believe me, it should not take more than 20min for bumper off or on... practice makes perfect. Image

Yeah £250 is a joke!

I know ,next time id say I could do it in 20 mins . its just making sure it lines up is where I had my problems , its still not 100% but I had to walk away :shock:

You can change the side light and DRL bulbs while still on the car but the other 2 forget it. I just think this is a poor design . But its done now, next time if there is one ill pm you :bowdown:
