BugCo22 Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 I've had one of my wing mirror bulbs blow on me and was wondering if anyone could tell me how to replace them ?? I'm thinking of changing them to LEDs while I'm at it as there brighter so also need to know the type of bulb ?? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pragmatix Posted April 18, 2015 Share Posted April 18, 2015 It's easy, tilt your mirror glass into the car so you have a large gap on the outside then you will be able to see the clip that holds the lens into the housing depress the clip with a screwdriver and the lens will be realised pull it out change the bulb and just press it back into place, I would check that it's working before putting it back. Also if thinking of changing to LEDs some are a very tight fit and can split the holder as I found out on mine, it was done by previous owner not me, back on standard bulbs now the blue was annoying me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
