If so, - and if they are not, I just want to rant about how much of a pita changing side light bulbs is. Is it beyond the wit of designers to make what should be such a mundane ordinary task simple to do ! Wheels off, arch liners removed, bumper off, then headlights out. Changed all the bulbs - not doing all this again- also sprayed a good coating of waxoyl inside the front arches while I was at it. Makes a mockery of having to carry a spare bulb kit in France !

are 156 included here ?
Re: are 156 included here ?

errrr, No!
Ive never had to go to that extreme though John, crikey, that is bad.
My "usual" method, would be that once ive got the bulbholder out and replaced the bulb, turn it on, and use the light to help target and guide you to the hole.
Let the Bulb see the Socket!
even if you get lucky though, its an hour a side fettling about like that, bloomin stupid design as you said, quite right.

Re: are 156 included here ?
i also have a 147 but opening the forum to all the usual posts would clog it up, like AO used to get. hell on earth getting any tech questions answered on there because of the depth of mundane moanings.
we don't want that route, this is a forum for car enthusiasts of classic alfas, hence the forum name
