I am trying to change one of my sidelights in my 1997 bongo. I can access the connector to the right of the headlamp which is easy to unplug but as for getting at the bulb or holder its in I seem to be at a loss. Any help on changing the sidelight bulbs would be greatly appreciated

Khisanth, this probably won't help you unless someone has fitted the later facelift units where they are in the main body of the head lamp and fitted into an extension tube:

You can just it to the left of the adjustment motor:

Turns out once lights unplugged the holder needs to be rotated.
Was unable todo this so undid 1 screw holding grill
And 3 bolts holding lights in got a pair of pliers and gently rotated
Installed bulb and reattached bolts all done.
Thanks for all the help
