Removing the sidelight bulbs 147 GTA

How the funk do you do it?

And any recommendations for the bulbs to replace the blown one with?

A small mirror lets you see whats going on inside the headlight.

BTW change both, they go within days of one another.

The one when you turn the headlights on 1 notch. Thats a sidelight right? And I can get the little plastic cover off the back but then wiggling the cables, they come off and leave the bulb inside!!
