No instructions in the driver's handbook? But if you can't get at it because of the fusebox perhaps this removes easily? Disconnect the battery first, though. -- *The e-mail of the species is more deadly than the mail * Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |

Impossible to get access on the right hand side due to fuse box being in the way!!! Bad news I'm afraid. My boss had to do just this. Had to take it to a dealer in the end because it requires the front bumper to be removed. Cost over £100! Talk about crap design! |

My solution was to go to Halfords and get them to fit it for me. My hands were far too large to get near to the spring clip. J. |

I would wonder - is a car then undrivable without a working headlight bulb? It's a breakdown, then... Call the AA out! -- Adrian C |

Probably easy on a Left Hand Drive. A RHD conversion is often a bodge. I recall seeing under the bonnet of a A Class Merc - the steering went through a number of universal joints to cross to the other side of the car. John |

I can't see why a RHD car would have to have the fuse box moved...! The fusebox on the lhd may have been placed where the brake servo, or steering linkage needs to be for the rhd. |
