I need to replace the left side little town/parking light on my 06 SV8. I just downloaded the bulb renewal pdf from the topix jaguar site and it tells me to remove the rear cover from the inner headlight and then turn the bulb holder anti-clockwise. Of course the description makes it look simple.

I can barely see the bulb holder above the headlight bulb using a mirror and it appears to have two black plastic tabs sticking out of the back. It is way up inside there and very hard to reach with one let alone two fingers.

Does it really turn anti-clockwise to come out? Or do you squeeze the tabs together? Either way it looks really hard to do and I don't want to break it. Any suggestions on how to reach this little lamp?

 

You've probably already done it by now but mine is just a tab. You can just get your hand in there push the tab up and pull/wiggle it out. 1 min job.

We are talking about the #194 bulb holder aren't we?

 

Yes, that's the one. I buttoned it back up last night, but I'll try again.
