Can someone advise how to change the bulb on the side indicator bulb on a BX? Does it simply pop out of the wing?

Advice on side indicator
Hello All,
Can someone advise how to change the bulb on the side indicator bulb on a BX? Does it simply pop out of the wing?

Hello and welcome; the indicator simply rotates I think 1/8 of a turn, and pulls out.

Re: Advice on side indicator
It is quite easy, the picture shows the reason behind rotating the light. In the correct position the cutouts allow you to gently pull the light and connector away from the wing.

Prefer it to the Lamborghini, like Signor Gandini!
