Replacing a blown headlight bulb, in pictures....


bonnet off job on an A2,
you'll have to find somewhere to put it, remember, bodywork scratches so very easily



here's the mirror to help you get on with the job






And this is what you're aiming for, the back of the headlight cluster, once the cover's off, which is a case of pulling the clip to the middle of the car, you'll see



so with a flip of a clip and a pull of that black plug...




  out comes the blown bulb (blown in the middle of the coil)

and now to put the cover back, easily the most difficult and frustrating bit of this task...




get this in, narrow end first, blind, you'll be a genius. Just like me. It took me 5 minutes to get the bonnet off, take out the bulb, put the new one in. Then it took me another 15 to 20 minutes getting this bit of black plastic in the right place.

Well, Kolo's now free to drive around after 3pm now without the fuzz getting all shirty about it.
