Removing the inner wheelarch covers makes the job possible, I lack the arms of an oran utang and extending fingers to do it any other way. I did think about fitting inspection hatches as lecky7 suggests, but decided that having once got them to dip for driving on the left I just wouldn't bother ever doing it again.
Of course, if a bulb blows then it's back to the start. It does make a nonsense of having to carry a spare set of bulbs on the Continent. A quick roadside fix isn't really an option.

Get one of those bendy screwdrivers - then it is a 10 minute job. Like Peejay I struggled forever first time and then never dare touch it for 3 years until MOT loomed. . . The guy who invented the bendy screwdriver should be given the Nobel Prize for Good Idea.

When I was getting ready for a trip over the 'ditch' recently in my not long bought, 2nd hand imported Hymer, I was about to get beam benders to fit when I noticed that it already had some stuck on. On checking with the dealer/importer it transpired that in order to get the van through the MOT, he had just stuck continental to UK beam benders on ie all I had to do was rip them off and I was ready for the continent.
I was a bit surprised that it had passed the MOT set up like this and will be interested to see if it will be as successful on its next MOT, wherever I get it examined. (The cynic in me thinks otherwise ! Wink
