Hi

Just changed a dip beam bulb on the off side of my 203, a bit fiddly but no screws needed, just a clip on cover. Do what I did, cheat, look at the nearside light, its much easier to see how to get the cover off.

Hi,
With a bit of luck, your local dealer's Service Advisor or equivalent will change it FOC if you supply the bulb. Makes life a lot easier!

My CLK was the same, Maplins sell a little Torx driver that is small enough to get behind the lights. If you drop the torx screw though, you will need to remove the undertray or get a long extendable magnet to retrieve it, also from Maplins. Another 5 minute job that takes an hour.
