Air Bag Light and Changing Headlight Bulbs
 

hello all,

am sure posted a million times but how the hell do you get those headlight bulbs out? what direction do you need to turn the black clip that the 3 wires connect into? i can get at the bulb by pulling bk the grey rubber bung but cant get leverage to pop the clips? any inspiration?

also, airbag light has come on, checked the clip under the seat and it seems fine, anywhere else i can check?

any help would be great!

you don't pop the clips, just pull them gently and push aside

unclip it, clean it and put it back on.

To take the headlight bulbs out pull the black plug off, then pull the grey rubber bung off, then theres a metal clip that you need to push inwards and to your left (facing the vehicle). With the air bag light its a common problem, checking the pre tensioners under the seat is the most obvious thing to do but sometimes the light will turn itself off. If youre that bothered by it take it to a garage and get them to sort it out. An bloody hell not many people from drayton on here, get some pics up of your saxo and il keep an eye out :D

hi matt,

cheers for this, do you need to pull the black plug out straight or at an angle? as soon as i get this off the rest will fall into place perfectly!

you from drayton as well then?

ive just got factory model saxo first 1.0, its in desperate need of some speed its too slow!

straight off mate :y:

nice one pal,

mine must be particularly rusted or jammed on ive been trying tp ull it out for ages but i am not taking it a garage do thats for sure!

Yeah the plack plug will just pull straight out. (im assuming you have a mk2?) And yeah i live just just outside drayton :y:

my car has been a nightmare recently, getting a new clutch fitted this weekend disaster!

what garage do you use matt if i can ask?

thanks for that, mine is proper jammed will give it another go tonight!

You can usually slide a flat screwdriver under the black plug where it connects to the bulb by gently turning the screwdriver you can ease the plug off a bit.

If you pull the plug too hard there's a risk that the wire clips holding the bulb in place will give/bend and then it's a pain - try with the screw driver first first one side of the black plug then the other - once it's given a bit it'll pull off easier :y:
