side lights as in side indicators or actual side lights in the headlights?

usually twist and pull

 

[mkm250680]

yes as in the sidelight (head light)

I think they have tabs on them that you need to push in while pullong them out, they are a pig to get out

yes as in the sidelight (head light)

as above, twist and pull, its not rocket science....

EDIT: obviously removing the springy tabs/prongs

The capless bulbs in the mk1 are lilttle shits to get out, as DK says they have tabs that need pushing in...you need about 6 pairs of babys hands to change them!

I seem to recall watching a team of 'rocket scientists' doing this at a meet in Brum once many moons ago... damn you need some ikkle tiny hands to do it.
