Got a Few Questions Here, All Bulb Related. Mine's a ST Pre-Facelift, '05 Plate.

I Know The Headlight Bulbs Are H4 & Fogs Are H11. The Interior Main Bulb Is a Festoon 501. And The Indicator Bulbs Are Offset.

What Bulbs Are The 2 Next To The Main Interior Bulb (501 Festoon)? And How Do They Come Out?

What Are The Sidelight Bulbs?

Do You Have To Remove The Headlights To Change The Mains & Sidelights?

How Do You Replace The Foglight Bulbs?

you have to take the headlight out to remove the side light bulb and the bulb you need is a 501 fitment, lots of people change them for LED's they look much better

to replace the fog light bulbs simply put you hand round the back of the fog lights and twist the bulb then it will come out

I Think So.

It seems to change for every ST. My fronts are opposite, the rears are offset.
My dad's style has opposite rears

I've Got Some H4 & H11 From eBay For £6.29 Each (Pair). The Indicator Bulbs Are About £4. Interior Blue LED Is About £4.

Need Sidelight One's Now, Still Unsure About Which One's Fit??

Anybody Find a Link To Show Me Which Ones I Need??

side indicators are also 501
use a spoon and a bit of kitchen towel, then push on one end of the lens. it should give a little and pop out
if it doesnt give then you got the wrong end

don't the indicators have to flash orange?
so if you get white bulbs you need orange lenses?
just get silvervision 501 bulbs

And if you want to change the interior light it's a 42mm festoon the bulbs either side of it are 501's. To get them out bluetack on the end of some pliers and be gentle and they'll come out without breaking. Boot bulb is also a 501 if your doing everything!

I Think Mine's a 36mm, Gonna Measure It.

I Did Fit The Bigger One In (Bent The Terminals) But It Didn't Work Properly. Only Half Of The LEDs Worked.

Yeah I bent the terminals on mine too its better if the bulb is bigger because then it doesn't spin around and end up pointing upwards and not giving out as much light.

Well, just done before the light faded & the rain started!

Hit a couple of little bumps. After fitting the passenger side ones & replacing the headlamp I realised I hadn't put the little gromet back on the back of the side light bulb. So, I had to take the headlight off again.

And once I put the grille back on I put the bonnet release catch through one of the gaps in the grille, instead of over the top. A very fiddily job that took an extra 20 min's.

But I got there in the end
