Hi All, there is probably a thread or post on this already but I just can't seem to find anything. I must apologize for not finding it. I have a bulb that's burnt out. It is the high beam bulb. I know that you to access it through the square panel in the wheel arch but once that is opened how do you get the plastic cover opened. Can't see any clips etc. Videos on YouTube that I have come across show pre-lci.

Need some help pls.:smashScreen:

At the the top of that square panel you will see two grooves on each end. Use a coin to turn them and the panel will loosen off

Hi Akash, thanks for that but it's after opening that panel is where I am stuck. There is a black covering, but I cannot see any clips to open that to get to the bulbs.

On my LCI I had to remove the whole wheel liner to be able to get to it, after taking off the front wheel. Yes, there is a flap but the opening isn't big enough to loosen all the screws to open the back cover of the light. Maybe I missed something obvious as well; I remember swearing some poor random German fellow at the time.

There is a clip at the top of the square panel that you must push up.

Be careful with the clip that holds the lamp in place, if that falls it's a proper ball ache to get one. Trust me i know
