Skoda fabia 2012 Monte carlo side light

Featured Replies

I can see where the side light is and I take the rubber cover off. However I cannot get the old bulb out at all. I tried turning it. Any ideas? Also can I just put in a cheap halfords bulb. Do I have to pull really hard or turn it?

Thanks

Since there's no way to edit my own post I will add that someone on here said turn till it clicks. There is no click. Yet again im going to have to ask Halfords to do it.

Sorry tp tell you but Halfords will not change these bulbs for you on this model due to how difficult it is, I asked them before as i bought 2 bulbs and said i would pay to have them fitted but they said not this bulb on this model, I did manage to do it but i needed to get a pair of those grip type car working gloves and take the big rubber off the back of the headlight unit and then you need to wiggle your arm up untill you reach the side light holder it's a combination of pulling and slightly twisting the holder to release it they are difficult but will come out, i found a jerk pull action better than just pulling some pepole remove the road wheel and then remove the front part of the wheel arch liner to get at the holder, when i got mine out i used 2 zip ties one around the holder and then another around that tie and made a kind of loop so i could get my fingers in the loop to pull it out next time i did replace mine with good quality led bulbs and never needed to replace them again until we changed the car many years later, i'm sure some people will say this is wrong but it worked for me as i didn't fancy removing loads of parts just to change a bulb
