Hawkeye Lights

[Wee Jock]

Tried this on strictly technical to no avail, hope someone on here can help!

How easy is it to change the w5w sidelights on a Hawkeye?

Is it a garage job?

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Wee Jock,

I looked into this when I first got my car, as I wanted to change the bulbs to something a bit more blue to match the HID dipped beam.

Apparently, you have to separate the clear plastic lens from the main unit by heating the seal with a hairdrier.

You then have to be very sure that you get it all sealed up again after changing the bulbs.

The manual says to take it to the dealer to change the front bulbs.

I never did get around to changing mine.

Maybe one day ...

Regards,

Ian

If the hawk is like the blob you will need to remove the headlight to get into the sidelight holder, bit of a crap design
