Replacing Indicator Bulb on a Mini Cooper

Model: Mini Mini R53, R52, R50 - Years 2001-2007
Part: Side marker bulb

Replace the indicator bulb on a Mini Cooper. Remove the lamp from inside the wing. Use a plastic lever or your hands to detach the number plate light (push the lamp to the side). Once the indicator lamp is removed, disconnect the bulb holder, then remove the damaged bulb. Fit the new bulb (same size and voltage). Refit the lamp into the wing panel, pressing until the clips lock automatically. Test the operation of the previously fitted bulb. Turn on the ignition and activate the indicator.
