Would seem to be the wrong answer. The indicator bulb actually goes in
from the side just behind the grill. It's all a bit tight and fiddly
though.

I'm sure it was an indicator, because it was doing that thing where the
flasher unit speeds up when one bulb isn't working.  As usual, it was only
necessary to polish the soldered contact on my trouser leg, rather than
actually get a new bulb.  I've never had to do anything with the headlamps
on the thing.

Perhaps what I remember is looking under the plate when I was trying to find
the bulb.

Had fun with it this week, though.  It was revving like mad between gear
changes, so rather than splash out on a new throttle position sensor, I
wired in a variable pot in parallel with it to get the voltage back down to
0.4V.  Worked a treat, although I bet the PCM is probably a bit confused at
times.  I didn't want to spend £40 on a TPS because I think the beast will
probably be getting weighed in any week now.

I've done it on a '97 model, and if the housing hasn't changed design since
then, it should be easy.  There is a clip holding on a flat plastic plate.
Move the clip, and the plate comes off.  The bulbs are under the plate.

It's a 99, you're right for the other bulbs but not the indicator -
which is on the side of the unit at the front (its angle of entry to the
unit is perpendicular to the others. Job done now.

Open bonnet look for the  the amber section (indicator lens)on the side,
under grill you will see a bulb holder remove connecter, twist unit
anti-clockwise small strong hand required remove  and replace bulb.
Replacement is reverse of above. Good luck!!
