srobrien Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 Went to inspect why my driver side indicator wasn't working, went to take the bulb out via the top of the headlight then BAM!! the bulb fell out the holder INSIDE the headlight AAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!! This meant, wheel off, arch off, lower tray off, bumper off, headlight out, skinned knuckles, then reverse!!! AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!! To make it worse the bulb was fine and was just loose, I had gone and bought new silvertec bulbs too! Sometimes I would love to meet the designers of the zed and give them a good slap!

Thats the cost of changing a headlight bulb including the bulb so by the time they have taken out the loose one, refitted etc tou may get some change.
