Surely I can be the only one wondering on this one. Just how do I get access there to change the bulb? (well the whole foglight bit really) The 1.6 needs a new one on the left side and looking through the Haynes manual can't actually find it in there. A quick explanation of the best way to do it as I plan on doing this tomorrow morning

use a screw driver to unscrew the screw underneath it and it should allow you to gain access |

If you want them out tomorrow i'd advise you to spray some WD40 in the hole tonight as it will most likely be rusted and seized to high heaven, |

so is it the screws that rust in there? or the whole thing? I get to do this to not 1 si but 2 tomorrow (borrowing one from the 1.4 to put in 1.6 to see if it is just the bulb) |

nope that foglight isn't coming out, think I'll take it to my trusted garage and see how much to get it out for me. Friggin thing, all 3 of us tried and all it did was screw up the screw a bit. grr |
