Jim 2 Posted February 20, 2004 Just a quicky. I need a new sidelight bulb for my Corrado - is there are particular type / model of code for the bulb, so that I don't have to take the headlight apart and wonder round Halfords with the old bulb looking for the right replacement? Cheers :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jedi-knight83 0 Posted February 20, 2004 there are only 2 types of side light. The 501 bulb which just pushes in (wedge shaped) and the one the corrado uses the ??? bulb....cant remember its bloody number but its basicly the one with a 5mm bayonet connection.

Jim 2 Posted February 20, 2004 Ok - I know it sounds lame, but i've never actually had to change any bulbs on a car before so didn't actually know what I needed to look for!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Supercharged 2 Posted February 20, 2004 Jim, you need to take out the whole unit to change the headlamps but not for the sidelights - they can be pulled out the unit but you will need some pliers to do it! - It will tell you in the manual if you have one but there fairly easy to locate, just have a look! Jedi - I thought all corrado's had the pull out type??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jedi-knight83 0 Posted February 20, 2004 nope. the actual bulb is the twist in bayonet bulb....it sits in a holder. that holder is the thing you pull in and out. i'll post a pic Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jedi-knight83 0 Posted February 20, 2004 ignore the led in the second pic... these pics are for if you want to upgrade to the LED sidelights but they show you the bits you want for this particular topic! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted February 21, 2004 The hole to work in is a lot fiddlier than i was expecting, but swapped it. I did end up taking out the whole unit as I thought it'd be easier than trying to work upside down / hanging over the back of the headlight bit. Anyway - cheers - I now have both sidelights working :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
