Yes "HowInTheHell" is one word!

Where the front turn signal bulb is, in the bumper, is also a white bulb, that I think Mini calls a Front Marker, or parking light or something like that.

Well, I want to change it to something hyper white to match all the other front driving lights. All I know is that it's a 5w something, so I wanted to get it out and have a look at it.

The turn signal bulb just twists out, but "HowInTheHell" do I get this Front Marker bulb out?

I was able to unclip the wiring plug from it, but then the molded plastic piece just sat there mocking my futile attempts at pulling and twisting!

"HowInTheHell" do I get it out?

 

The bumper cover removes and goes back on rather easily. While it may seem like overkill to change a bulb, but access becomes a non-issue.

 

From what I remember, I believe they unlock with a twist. :smile:

The bumper can be partially removed by unscrewing 6 screws, which is relatively easy, but unnecessary for changing light bulbs.

I took a long nose and ccw twist and the holder came out.

Then from the holder, just pull the bulb. It's a 192 wedge 5w.

Im using a Polarg Hyper white bulb on the marker to match
the HID's and its niiiice. I also use a pair of hyperwhites in
the highbeam since i have the DRL's.

 

1. I have the aero kit and really don't want to remove the bumper

2.. Isn't it 194 5w, not 192?

 

my car has the aero kit too... don't need to remove the bumper.

192 or 194 will work. 5w

 

Hey Fraser, looks like your sig photo is that of bad boy Scholes of Moan U. You need to update this sig's photo to show the Gooners in action.
