Indicator Bulb Replacement

[adaturfman]

I am trying to replace the driver's side indicator bulb but have hit a brick wall. I have managed to get the bulb holder out of the light fitting but it won't come out fully, it seems to be hitting a piece of metal in the engine compartment behind the fitting. No matter how I orientate the fitting it won't get past this pice of metal!

Can anyone give me any advice on how to do this relatively simple task, or link me to a page on the internet that can show me how, as I refuse to take it to a dealer to replace.

Thanks in advance.

Hi to be honest its a pain you could do without Halfords supply a bulb fitting service got my done for £6 as did not need bulb just the holder had come out lad done it inside two mins !

I managed to replace headlights and sidelights without removing bumper, however when it came to indicators i did remove bumper and it was easier than i thought, just allow a couple of hour for first removal to make sure you get it right. You get a better view of everything you need to, its just about having a go!

Thanks for your replies. Could you re-post the web address for bumper removal as your first one doesn't link. Many thanks.
