OK folks, apols if this has been done before, but as I've just changed my DRl/Sidelights/Indicators and repeaters I thought I'd show some pics of before and after along with details on the bulbs I used.
Firstly, as the car looked before any bulb changes:

Then the DRL and side light were changed on the right hand side:

A picture with the DRLs on (right hand side is the new bulb):

Sidelights on next (right hand side with the new bulb):

Now with the Xenons on and the sides (right hand side new bulb):

Both DRLs changed now:

Both sidelights changed:

Xenons and sidelights on now with both sidelights changed:

I also changed the side repeaters. Firstly, as they were originally:

Next, with the side repeater bulb changed:

Finally the indicators were changed. The picture below shows the changed bulb on the left with the original still in on the right:

Bulbs Used:
DRLs: PIAA H227 Xtreme White S25 Single 382 Bayonet 21 watt
£12.71 each purchased from hid.uk.com
Link
Sidelights: PIAA H222 Xtreme White Wedge sold in pairs 5 watt each
£11.91 for the pair purchased from hid.uk.com
Link
Side Repeaters: 501 Chrome Wedge sold in pairs
£6.99 for the pair purchased from Autobulbs direct on Ebay
Link
Indicators: Philips Silvervision PY21W Sold in pairs 21 Watt
Purchased from Ebay for £8.99 (make sure the packaging is the new style not old)
The DRLs and sidelights were easy to change but I couldn't reach the indicator bulbs due to the Xenon units. So to get to them I turned the wheels in and on the wheel arch liner where it's split into 2 parts, towards the edge there are 2 torx screws. If you undo those, you can then open the wheel arch liner and just about get your arm up to the indicator bulbs. With a turn of the bulb holder, it should release the bulb and holder and it can then be removed for the bulb to be changed.
