Does anyone know how to change a side light bulb on a Jaguar XJ Sport?

I need to change one but I'm having trouble getting the bulb out. I don't want to force it and I'm guessing there is a technique I'm unaware of. Does anyone know how to do this?Does anyone know how to change a side light bulb on a Jaguar XJ Sport?Push, twist anti-clockwise %26amp; pull. Very easy to do.Does anyone know how to change a side light bulb on a Jaguar XJ Sport?If it's a 2000 or later model, you can download a PDF copy of your Owner's Manual here;

The instructions should be in there. You will need the V.I.N. # from your car to access it.



Generally speaking though, there's only two ways they come out, unless it's an LED bulb. Either pull straight out, or push in a little, twist counter-clockwise about 1/8 turn, then pull out.



If it's a side marker light, chances are it's one of these very small bulbs;

which pulls straight out.



If it's a larger bulb (like thumbnail size), those can be either a type that pulls straight out, which have a plastic base;

Or the push in and twist type, which has a round base (bayonet type) like this one;
