I'm trying to replace the W5W bulbs on the side of my MCS but don't know how to take off the grills? Any help?...

Also, my steering seems to be awfully tight like I almost have no power steering should I get that checked out?

thanks,
Luca Corleone

i put clear bulbs in mine. to get at them, gently press the lens toward the rear of the car and hold, then lift the front of the lens out away from the car. it is self-explanatory from there on. do be careful, as the tabs are a bit flimsy..(ask me how i know).
the steering doesn't sound normal. checked the fluid?
best - bodinski.

Do you mean the lights in the side markers or the front turn signal lights? I ordered some w5w bulbs and plan on installing them in the front turn signals

Good advice above, but I'll give you one more piece.

Wait a little longer than 6 minutes before wondering aloud why nobody has answered you yet. This is a user forum, not MINI tech support!
