One might be wobbly because the bumper might not be tight or there's a little white clip that sits behind the light that might have snapped

right, finally fitted the last light so it doesnt have odd lights anymore haha.

decided to take the other back out and buy new clips from vauxhall so they are both now fit properly.

had to remove the airbox so i had some more room on that side, so thought id get some pics while i was at it, looks quite clean down there





reasonably clean and tidy behind the light. and no rust anywhere


while i was at it i changed the sidelight bulbs

before.....



after . . . .








finally got hold of some chrome indicator bulbs too. so i now dont have white indicators.....WIN




car is still in need of a serious clean, but glad ive got then all fitted now, just want some new headlight bulbs now, thinking the philips ones, but waiting to see what is said about them
