One sidelight bulb needs replacing on our 2002 1.9TDI L&K estate. But it's fitted with xenon headlights and the owner's manual says the sidelight bulb should be replaced by a Skoda dealer. Is this really a dealer only job, or is it possible for an accomplished home mechanic to do it?

Try Rob's guide, as his car has xenons fitted. Should be easy enough.

Thanks very much mbames and Rob - looks pretty straightforward, I'll give it a go.

What a great guide, clear and easy to follow. I'll post again when I've done the job!
