ive followed cobra148s tutorial to get at the bulbs begind the heater unit to replace them with leds
when you pull the unit forward it only comes about 2/3 inches yes? Do you then have to unclip the
guide wire clips? If not how do you get at the bulbs
Please help as im going to chin my car

Mate more trouble than its worth gettin that bloddy thing out, i havnt got any bulbs behind mine at all lol.
You need to unclip all the cables then take out the thing all the wires connect into, too start with there isnt alot of space to work with, but if youve got paitence youll b ok, unfortunatley i havnt
Not sure where abouts the bulbs are though, should be a bit clearer once its out!!
Good Luck

Its a piece of cake when you have done it before but the first time is a right pain in the arse!! I wonder why these bulbs are so keen on popping tho,I've never known it be a big problem on any other cars.

Its much easier if you unclip the vent section at the top. It will unclip if you pull hard enough starting at the top. Then you can unclip the bulb carrier from above without taking all the cables out - except the one its connected to ofcourse.
