Hi all,

i know this may sound very silly but i cant see how to get to the headlight bulb on a 996 without having to take the wheel off and the arch undercover off - seems a bit long winded.

please help

Thanks

check the manual - the first one will take a minute, the second one will take you 20 seconds.

Undo side-carpet clips, insert special socket spanner (found in your toolkit) and turn 90 degrees. Light slides out.

of sorts.... have a look in your car manual, it will describe this process, where the lever is and how to access the bulbs

Come on, we're guys. A manual is always a last resort. A refuge of the weak. You only ever cave when things start coming off in your hands, or you can smell smoke :wink:
