Problem with getting the side lights out!

[Kinnish]

My side light has just gone and i've tried to get the light out, but no luck?! I've looked around on the internet and i can't find anything to help me!
If any body knows how to get the light out that would be GREAT!!
Thanks and hopefully someone knows haha

Not sure whether there is an easier way, this is the way I did mine. Removed the bolts holding the wing on & the ones across the scuttle panel. The two small grills were then removed This then allowed the wing to be pulled to the side & the top part of the bumper to be pulled forwards then allowing the light unit to be removed to change the bulbs.
Hope this helps.

long reach angle nose pliers is my fave tool - works on leon/ibiza

Forgot to mention, I had to put new side lights in mine 12 months ago & they went again a few weeks ago, now replaced with LED's.

Should have made it obvious, this is on the Arosa & not the Ibiza's. Can't do 2 things at once, trying to watch the television & post at the same time.

Haha! I've tried taking the back of the light off, but there is so much stuff in the engine bay there is just no room to get my hand down there to get it out! I've heard that i may have to take the entire bumper off! Soo much work for a poxy side light!
Haha thanks tho for the info on the Ibiza lights!

take some stuff out ?

looks like a push in 501 same as ibiza and first time out they are a right stiff pain to get out

just don't pull on the wires too hard as i have seen em break off before the holder comes out

Find someone with small hands, that might help.

Worked on a mk4 Ibiza when I had a go

twisting em round a bit L+R seems to help

Haha, The only thing is could possibly take out is the battery...i might have to take off the bumper , is it true that people up halfords can do it? haha!

Kinnish. This is how I did it on the Arosa, take no notice of the picture, thought it might have confused you seeing the Ibiza.
