Hi everyone

Haven't posted around for a while but I am back :wink:

So when I installed my side view mirrors with the turn signals I had one mirror with the bulb out. Took me a while to get to it as once I tried to get the lens to pop out to check which bulb it was and wouldn't budge.

Yesterday I went out and bought a W5W bulb on the recommendation of the shop keeper telling me that's the bulb for 5 SR ($ 1.33) Only later I found out I had a few lying in my closet :bonk:.

The bulb

Tilt the mirror towards the car until it stops

Under the mirror there is either a set screw or a normal four head screw. One of my mirrors has the set screw. This had the regular screw

Remove the screw and pull the lens outwards from the car and then towards the pillar of the car. Keep at it and it will eventually come off

To remove the bulb from the lens rotate the top part above the lens until it comes off

Replacing the bulb is simple, pull out the old bulb and insert the new bulb!

Annnnnndddd Successs

Reinstalling is just working your way backwards :2thumbsup:
