Searched the owner's manual and other places.... The front driver side (USA spec) lower side bulb seems to be out in the 2007 GTC. I assume you remove tire and inner fender cover to access it. Does anyone know what bulb goes inside so I have it ready for R/R? Many thanks as ALL help is ALWAYS appreciated.

 

The manual says the side marker light assembly is glued into the bumper. (please see the "Note" attachment I have provided) Further, the manual says you should remove the bumper to get at the bulb. It says you should turn the bulbholder clockwise to remove the subassembly in order to remove the bulb. The bulb part# N0177532 (for GTC prior to VIN 50987). lf your VIN is later, then the marker is LED and the entire unit has to be replaced.

 

Just got off the phone with the Bentley factory mechanic. This is sooo easy to replace! You simply gently pry off the side lens from the outside and the assembly comes right out. Like you said, once there just turn the holder counter-clockwise and you're there. R/R the bulb and push back in. Easy 3 minute job.

 

Great news! On the surface, it seemed like a hell of a lot of work to remove the bumper to get at a bulb. I also find it interesting that the assembly isn't glued into the bumper (again, not what the manual states). I believe there have been other posts on this topic so, your discoveries are VERY important.

 

Thanks for the info Steven.

 

Always glad to help, but frankly we are ALL helping one other and learning as these cars age and things need R/R. Everyone here is so kind, helpful and why 6SpeeOnline is my fave Bentley discussion board. The more things we can post/solve, the more other's can follow what we have learned/done.

 

Thx for the info. I've been putting this off too.

 

Thanks for info guys, I just did mine this morning. Grabbed the bulb from AutoZone guy at the counter said with my rewards points its FREE. Treated myself to lunch with the money I saved. This was by far the easiest DIY for my car and the cheapest.
