The sidelight is in the indictor lamp.
On the mk1 there's a hole in the n/s inner wing through which you can see the indicator bulb holder, put your finger in and press forward on the bulb holder as you press down with your screwdriver. The lamp should then pop out, needs a lot of force on the plastic lug though just where the colour of the plastic changes from greyish to black, not at the very end off the lug. Just tried mine, two seconds and it was out.
To change the bulb remove the bulb holder. To do that press the wire thingy in and pull it away from the bulb holder , you will be left with the bulb holder and with a small pair of pliers/strong fingers twist it anti clockwise.
If they haven't be disturbed for awhile they will be tight with the rubbery bits sticking together.
