Hi comrades trying to change the sidelight/parking bulbs,I have quite chunky hands so can not really get to them,is it possible /easier to pull the headlight out to fit or is this a faph,is it the way to do it?

most cars these days require the headlight assy to be fully removed.

New Fabia's are easier...sorry to confuse you...Very easy now

However, yours is the first Mk2 model..We had one too before our vRs and it was impossible to change the sidelight bulbs

Why not ask the dealer?
