 Vauxhall Vectra C - 07 1.9D Changing an indicator bulb - Iffy
While out for a hobble I happened across a 57-reg Vectra taxi with its bonnet open, surrounded by a few drivers.

Using my licence to interfere, I asked what was afoot.

They were trying to change the front driver's side indicator bulb - an orange one.

The bulb sits in a holder which has no trailing wires - the connections are in the base of the holder.

Looks for all the world as if the bulb/holder should sit in the lamp unit and locate by a quarter or half a turn - simple.

But the combined brains trust of me and the taxi drivers couldn't do it.

We could get the bulb/holder into the light unit, but it would not locate properly and connect.

The moment has now passed, but I remain curious as to why we couldn't do it.
