Had mine go a while ago, didn't have a clue how to get to it, dropped into local dealer and they took the main bonnet off, and there is a small panel adjacent'ish to where the indicater is, take that off and it's in there somewhere. Took a total of about 30 mins.

Stephen, If you can get the main bonnet off yourself, it's a breeze & shouldn't cause you any major problems.

Before changing the bulb check your fuses as this was the problem I had.

Remove the main bonnet - 4 bolts towards the front, 2 sliders underneath towards the windscreen - then there is a small inspection panel held on with 3 phillips screws, you can then get to the back of the lights

Not done an indicator, but I guess the fitting is the same as the rear lights, in which case you unscrew the bulb holder and then take the bulb out of that.

While you are there, it is worth checking the side lights as they do come loose occasionally and the bulb drops out and lights up the inner wing!!
