Electrics: - Urgent: 2002 V70 Parking/Sidelights?

Darb197 · Jan 30th, 2016, 12:41

Hello.
When I switch to sidelights:

I have no lights on the front. The Rear lights come on as normal.

Silly question: but WHERE are those parking light bulbs within the engine bay? even better if someone can post a pic showing where and what bulb please.

When I look in, I can see the Main and Dipped bulbs, but where is the bulb for the sidelights?
I have an MOT very shortly today so advice would be greatly appreciated!
My user manual isnt very helpful

Look in the lense and you will see it. Or from the back its the one nearest the wing on either side

Thanks!
Is it a case of take the headlights out to replace those bulbs (and driver side indicator) ?
The gap is tiny..

you can take the whole bumper off. Or remove the cover around the ecu's to get to the bulbs

Arghh

Mot is imminent..
That sounds horrendously labour intensive for three bulbs.

Is there any easier/faster way?? ��

What bulb type are those btw?
