side lights change
- Thread starter mk4 cupra
- Start date
Stand beside the wheel and put your arm down the side of the wing. Alternatively, take the bumper off, remove the light unit.
Step 1. Use search function on forum
Step 2. Read through the hundreds of threads already about this saying that its a nightmare and the bumper needs to be taken off
Step 3. Ignore the threads and try to change them by trying to squeeze hand in behind the light.
Step 4. Cut your hands to bits, shout and swear at the stupidity of the Ibizas designers
Step 5. Admit failure and remove bumper.
Alternatively you could try roping someone with small hands ( missus, child, passing midget) to try and do it without the above steps.

Poxy job, i lost the little cover IN the front wing whilst changing the drivers side.......and its still there!
What a joke, take the bumper of !, its a bit tight but unless you have King kong hands it can be easily done within 5 minutes.
Done both sidelights many times before, i am 24, a bloke with average size hands and manage fine.
Just take the pain of the procedure like a man and it will be over in under 5 minutes

dead easy on mine! the 1.2 have nothing under the bonnet so theres nothing in the way 
however, i had to change a headlight bulb on my mums polo tdi not so long back. drivers side and it was an absolute twat to do as the fuel filter was practically touching the back of the headlight.

Haha! I'm glad I wasn't the only one to do that. Managed to get it back though by using one of those grabber things (no idea what it's actually called but it was really useful!).
