Trying to change the small side light bulbs on my Glee.
Can't seem to get my fingers to them and don't want to start dismantling front end for two small LED bulbs.
Do they just pull out? Or do they twist?

Any tips?

Twist... though I ended up taking the clocks off to get to them.

Also, the LEDS only lasted about 12 months then I had to replace them by removing the clocks again

I'm currently having the same problem pilky. Wish my hands were a few sizes smaller and my fingers were 3 inches longer. Had a try a couple of weeks back with no success and as suggested by UK_Vstrom, some sort of dismantling is in order I fear ????

It is very fiddly innit...took me way too long...frustration almost got the better of me  ###
Had to put tape around them as the fit was loose... :roll:

Changed the headlight bulbs at the same time...much easier [Extreme Vision 130]
