Front bumper will have to come off for me to access the bulbs and hopefully dry out the headlight to sort it.As long I don't require a new headlight/ballast I'll be happy.
does the bumper have to come off each time to change bulbs or is this just to access the fixtures etc ?0 -

I had this problem with the rear lights on the RX8. It was a common problem and required an upgraded gasket which helped but didn't fully solve the problem.
You should use epoxy or something like that to re-seal any shut lines on it or anywhere you think moisture can get in.0 -

I haven't had to change one yet but it can be done by just jacking up the car and removing the wheel and gaining access that way.I'll have to take off the bumper to remove the headlight and dry it out and fix whatever is causing the problem in the first place.MetzgerMeister wrote: »

That's the idea anyway, will just need a somewhat dry day and some sunlight. 0 -

are they trying to make bulbs harder to change in New cars ?
I'm near sure I have to go behind my front wheels to change the indicator bulb.
and to change the back indicator bulbs you have to take through unit off the rear side of the car that holds the indicator bulb and one brake bulb.
I suppose they expect us to go back to a main dealer each time we need the smallest things done0 -

Speed cameras are put in locations where accidents are known to happen. If my voice was horse from saying this in real life, it must be getting the same in forums. If you want to speed where people have crashed, go on ahead, you deserve to get caught.homer simpson wrote: »Jesus lad's we only think we have it bad with the go-safe van's at least we can spot them easily, these bad boys are currently being tested in the UK...

God almighty, can't people see that if you want to drive at high speed, there are plenty of safer ways you can do it?
Go on a holiday to Germany, for example, instead of pissing about on ****ty Irish roads.0 -

High horse? No, I wouldn't say I'm on one. What I was expressing is my frustrations that people think that there is people out to get them speeding, when it shouldn't be done in the first place in those areas since they're known for crashes.
Weather (sp?) or not I have gone over the speed limit is something that would be foolish to admit on a public forum, don't you think?
For real dude? :eek:
How many gatso vans have you seen on corners then?

More are needed tbh, we woula all like a nice thrash in safe conditions now and again
Well. Here is the issue. Every time, somebody wants to build a drift/track/outdoor carting tracks, a bunch of neighbors object to the planning application. Because

I used work in HP, and there was someone there who racked up twelve points in a week not realising there was a sixty limit on part of the N4!0 -

Exactly, because of what they see as boy racers hanging around. If i win the euromillions in the morning i would make 1-2 circuits in the middle of nowhere and see how it went. They have it easy in the UK from all the old unused airfields from ww20 -

I've said this before - it's an awful pity we were neutral during WWII
