Access to OS rear indicator from inside panel.
Hi all, I need access to the rear OS (drivers side UK) indicator from the inside of the panel. I have a 2011 Puma BTW. I'm fitting LED indicators. The near side is no problem as access to the two screws retaining the inner wing guard is ok. My big fat hands prevent me gaining access to one of the screws retaining the inner guard. It's partially covered by the filler pipe / seat belt anchor support. Any of you gurus got any advice please? Thanks in advance. Big Cry

I cannot help you with your 2011MY, but on my 2010MY 90 I just undid the 2 screws on the indicator( set into the lens, externally ) and then pulled the complete light assembly + plug out, unclipped plug and fitted new LED light assembly and then re-insert plug then light into the hole and retighten screws. Never had to get to the back of the light.

Just slide them across and then you pull out to change bulb, no need to access from the back.

Cheers

Sorry guys I should have said I'm fitting Speaker LED's there are no screws on the front, they bolt onto the panel from the rear, presumably to prevent theft? That's why I need access from the rear. I'll try to attach a photo to help explain. Near sides and front offside are no problem but the rear drivers side (UK) is stumping me as I can't get access to one of the two screws that hold the plastic protective inner panel on. Big Cry Big Cry cheers, hope someone can help.

I've fitted a lot of these lamps, and they can be done without removing the plastic liner. It is tight, but perfectly do - able.

Shame your not closer to the Midlands.

Ian, you were correct, it was doable. Only took me two hours to fit the one lamp. Laughing However my hand is the size of a small turnip and most of the skin on my wrist is gone BUT the lamp is on. Next doors kids have also learnt my swear words of choice. Laughing Where there's a will there's a way. Thanks for the info.

Did you fit it the right way up?

There is nothing worse than struggling - and realising that it is upside down..... Whistle

Luckily and not by design I might add it is on the right way up. Bow down
