Can someone please advise how to remove the lens, I've forgotten how I removed them when I replaced the bulbs last time...
I do remember it was a royal PITA. The bulbs are OK , it's just that the lights periodically don't operate, give them a tap or "wiggle ", they come on, so I need to check the holders or ground wires.
Thanks.

1999 406 HDi 2.0 110 GTX Estate. 48k when bought, now 150K. Second owner, I've covered over 100k in it.
Clutch changed @110k, bottom pulley changed, cam belt changed, EGR blanked, cat removed, front springs changed.

Thanks for that ! I did use the search function before I posted but it came up with nowt...............
But I know I didn't take the cover off last time ..........sometimes blind squirrels find acorns. But I'll do it right this time.

The intermittent contact problem appeared to be the terminal tangs were spread and don't have much " memory ". I reassembled and same problem..............removed and closed up the tangs again, was super careful not to touch the bulb when replacing the lens and all is now OK.
The lamp installation is a total bloody afterthought though................
