Don't even attempt to replace the Front Fogs Fuse! (or many of the others for that matter) Unless you have hands the size of a small baby or African pigmy |

I lost the spare fuses getting them out IIRC - better off buying spares from Halfrauds and keeping them in the glove box - fitting them is a right PITA |

The easiest way to get to the fuses is a pair of long needle nosed pliers...gently grab the fuse and pull as straight back as you can, the fuses come out very easily. You can also use them to put the fuses back, line it up and gently push in.

IIRC the red plastic 'tool' centre top of your pic is for removing and replacing the fuses |

that is true, but I find it's also difficult to use in tight spots...so the pliers give you quite a bit of added reach and keep your knuckles from getting rapped in there...give it a shot. PJPR Cairns Blue HSE 180k Miles of Adventure |

Good advice and when the the warranty runs out that's the route I will go but I think I will let the dealer drop fuses in there for now. Anyone had their dipping mirror fail to dip? - may not be the fuse at all. |
