There are plenty of posts on this subject! Do a search!

People have said you might want to remove the front bumper to change the bulbs which will make life easier otherwise you can find someone with small enough hands. :)

Hey buddy. I recently had this problem and after much stressing and messing around I went out and bought a pair of Bent Nose Pliers

Follow the link to see them, you can buy them from B&Q. I'm telling you, armed with these you will change both sides in less than 5 minutes!

They are a struggle to do! you need thin hands i managed to remove the little spring mechanism etc but i would just say ! take the bumper off or get those pliers otherwise it is a living nightmare.

Hi mate,

I recently changed the front indicators from the naffy tango style ones and put silvertecs in.

the best way i found was with a pair of needle nose pliers to get the retention clips off, and also to remove the bulb holders.

from there i'm afraid its just perseverence to get your hands between everything to change the bulb.

use the needle nose pliers to put the bulb holders back in, but not the retention clips, as these have a tendency to look clipped and fly off just as you let go <_<

good luck

Thats what i want to do is change the front indicators, the orange tint is horrible. Cheers for the advice guys :D

i managed to change both front bulbs without pliars or taking the bumper off, and i have fat hands. you just have to cram your hand in what tiny gap there is and then make the most of it. took me 30 mins to do both sides. did use a screwdriver to get the clips off though.
