Very very easy to fit in my experience, just requires a gentle touch as opposed to brute force.

Basically behind the light cluster you will see the bulb holders, if you twist them by 45 degrees or so the bulb will simply pull out of the cluster, then simply change the bulb and pop back in and twist.

The tricky part is putting the bulb holders back and getting them 'locked' into place. The bast thing to do is to take a picture on your phone to note the orientation of the holder before you touch it as because of the fitment it will only lock in one position.

Seriously though, its a five minute job.

not sure if the 182 is any different from a 1.2 to fit them but its a 2 min job (slightly harder on the side with the battery because there is less room but still easy)

just twist the little bulb holder and pull it out and u see the bulb, replace and stick it back in and twist it.

ozzyo99 gave you good advice about taking a pic with your phone, wish i had done that

If you're trying on a car with aircon then it will be a lot harder, making the battery side seem very easy

Well on a 172 MK2 there was no problem, i'll say that much

fronts on 172 can be a bit of a job, just takes time and patience, but worth it
