Help! Mk5 Headlights

Good afternoon,

This is my first ever post so please go easy on me!

I have just bought a used Ford Fiesta Flight 1.3 3dr 2001 and I am having a few issues with the bulbs....

I can't seem to take out the passenger-side sidelight due to the air intake pipe. I just cannot pull it out at all! Another problem is that I have snapped the plastic covers that go over the bulbs and I was wondering whether this is a problem?

Also, on the dashboard, is there meant to be symbol for when I turn the headlights on? There isn't one on when I turn both the headlights on main beam and sidelights. There is however, the usual blue symbol for full beam.

I know it's off topic, but one last issue I'm having and that is with the windscreen washer bottle. Every time I fill it up, it leaks from underneath car (drivers side) and I was wondering how much this would cost to sort out?

Many thanks for your help in advance and I look forward to becoming part of Ford Owners Forum!

Simon
