Evening all. Some of you may have seen on the Salisbury Plain event thread that I have a water/mud build up problem in my front side lights and fog lights.
How easy is it to removes these and what do I need to do??

Thanks in advance  FFRR TD6 HSE

Sidelights can be a PITA if the main wing-nut is corroded to as mine was. I ended up snapping the thing. In hindsight if you cant get it out easily - take the whole HL unit out. It's only 3 bolts and is easy peasy. As you've cacked all up the inside you may as well take it all out and get the jet wash in there.

As for your fogs - you lever the bezel off then there are 3 screws holding the lamp housing in place. Once you've got the bezel off it's plain sailing and fairly Starr forward. There isn't much wiring loom to play with that's the only downside, which can make removal/refitting a little tight/fiddly. 

Thanks Dan, glad you're back to help me out.
Maybe when you're next at Exeter Services I'll pop across and you can do it for me  FFRR TD6 HSE

If you ever are in the Exmouth area and have time to burn drop me a PM. It would be good to meet, especially once you have a FF again  FFRR TD6 HSE

hi greg, sidelights have 2 large plastic butterfly nuts which unscrew and the units come off, the fogs have surrounds that you prise off using a plastic spatula or similar , then there are 3 screws that hold the light unit in place..

Cheers Stan. I'll aim to get this sorted asap  FFRR TD6 HSE
