#4: Re: Indicator lenses Author: chambie1980, Location: stockportPosted: Fri Feb 24, 2012 10:58 am ---- Thanks pal. If in doubt, try it out
#5: Re: Indicator lenses Author: scottsgti, Location: ramsgatePosted: Fri Feb 24, 2012 11:00 am ---- ah, well there you are, i thought it would just pop out like all my previous cars lol.
learn something new everyday.

#7: Re: Indicator lenses Author: chambie1980, Location: stockportPosted: Fri Feb 24, 2012 11:03 am ---- Lol I'm totally clueless Scott which is why and advice is welcome
#8: Re: Indicator lenses Author: 2Oh!6, Location: GloucesterPosted: Fri Feb 24, 2012 11:05 am ---- I've always just slid a blunt knife behind to pop in the clip and it will pop out, done it several times with no scratches.
#9: Re: Indicator lenses Author: chambie1980, Location: stockportPosted: Fri Feb 24, 2012 11:09 am ---- Are the clips side or top and bottom pal ?
#10: Re: Indicator lenses Author: -Dave-, Location: North ManchesterPosted: Fri Feb 24, 2012 11:10 am ---- Just open the doors and use a screwdriver to unclip them from the back.
#11: Re: Indicator lenses Author: chambie1980, Location: stockportPosted: Fri Feb 24, 2012 11:23 am ---- Just been and had a look. Think suicidal's option is the best but thanks for allnoptions guys

This^^^
Or you can get a small flat blade screw driver, put electrical tape over the end so it doesn't scratch & pop them out.

Also if I decide the exterior option I'm guessing I havnt looked wrong and it's a side clip rather than top/bottom ?

Mine had only one clip and it was located rearwards, facing the door.
With the door open I used a bamboo flower stick (~3/8" diameter) to reach in and press on the clip, angling it so it was also putting a little pressure outwards on the whole assembly.
