Default Front indicator bulbs

Anyone got any ideas on how to change them ?

I didn't realise how far down the wing they are. If its a load of hassle I'll leave them til its next in the garage but I bought the 'Silvervision' ones and would like to replace them...

I'm not sure I want to take a wheel off and dismantle the wheel arch !!

Any photos or words of wisdom welcomed !!

Right, first side took me 45 mins, the other 5 mins There's a diagram in the manual - basically you pop out 3 or 4 plastic clips. Now the important additional thing to do to get that valuable extra space to get your hand in I found was to flex the liner out from behind the wheelarch lip - once you've popped that out (and obviously have the wheel turned in) then you have relatively easy access to the bulb carrier

I changed the instrument panel backlights on my Celica GT4 with LED's from these guys.

www.Ultraleds.com

0871 7110413

They sell various 'Ultra Bright Wedge Base Led' bulbs

LED's have a very directional light which is fine for the rears but I'd advise you go for one of their 'Super Wide Angle' Leds which give a bit more of a spread of light.

(On the left hand side of the page about half way down choose a colour from the drop down: blue has the most options, they'll all come up)

Reasonably priced too.
