#1: Offside lights out Author: Highmac, Location: North WarksPosted: Fri Dec 24, 2010 2:00 am ---- Both side and dip bulbs on driver's side have apparently failed. Main beam, indicator and rear lights all still work. Since two bulbs have gone at once is it possible it's a wiring problem?
I ask because I've seen the instructions for changing the offside bulbs and they seem even more complicated than the nearside one I spent two hours on recently
Also, can anyone recommend a good auto electrician in Coventry, Nuneaton, Hinckley area? because in this weather I'd regard it as an investment.....

2 hours to change a bulb on a 206
There one of the most easiest cars to change bulbs on around today.
The most taxing part is un clipping the washer bottle filler tube for the offside, that must take all of about 5 seconds tops

What you talking aobut take the light out is easier?
To change the bulb on a 206 is easy you do not have to take the light out no way.
Take washer bottle neck off on drivers side and pasenger side just unclip the backing plate.
No headlght remove needed.

Still easy and no need to take headlight out. Done it on mine with no problem what so ever.
