Does anyone have a how-to?

It's not for me, I'm sure it can't be that hard but I'm trying to explain it to someone with no mechanical knowledge and they don't understand without pictures, nor do the believe me that it really can't be that hard....

Probably worth selling the car and getting a new one, if a bulb has gone then next it could be the complete car just randomally collaspes one day and leaves them trapped inside.

For peace of mind its worth them going to local car dealers and signing a portion of their monthly wage over to them.

They are pretty awkward. If its the drivers side it's easier to take the airbox off to make room. There is a cover on the back held on by a metal clip, flick that off get the cover out the way and I think they just pull out.

Getting the cover back on is the shit part.

Joe is right about airbox and on the other side I think I had to take the fusebox cover off. Done both sides on my wife's 1.2 so it's not too bad

You can do it without removing anything but it's tight.

Yeah they just pull out once the plastic cover is off, it's awkward getting them in the right position to push them back in tho!

It's difficult and the 'C' was even worse.
