Hi 5stud. Go to page two of this give/need advice/to from forum and look at Scorpio kev. Details are there. Sorry, do not know how to post the actual details myself :-[

The details are Here (http://www.fordscorpio.co.uk/fasciabulbs.htm). Read them carefully BEFORE you start. The springs which hold the unit in are strong and care and a very thin flat blade are needed. Some people have successfully used an old credit card. Take your time!. ;)

Tony,

that's how I had mine. My dad kept them because they "may come in handy" and after he died I did the same. 12 years later I bought my first Corsair and now I use them quite a lot!

An old credit card is sometimes useful as an aid to get the panel out. I used to cut one down the middle and use that it was less likely to damage to surround which I know was very vulnerable to damage.

If you read the whole article,as Baz said, the 'tang' detail is posted in red script. The location of the securing clips is also detailed in the script,together with their exact location. :)
