CHANGING BULBS IN THE TAIL GATE, (FOG/REVERSE/INDICATOR)

Recommended Posts

Had a bit of spare time this evening so had a go on that awkward white clip and have found a spanner that seems to work quite well.

Will post pic in write-up, pointy pliers now demoted ;)

 

It was fairly easy using small mole grips to turn the white clip to get the bumper partly off. Agree that getting everything back in and aligned is the difficult part!

 

I found it easier to access the light from beneath by undoing the two clips below the bumper near the exhaust exits. Bumper is fairly flexible down there and you can get up behind to the lights that way (although I did undo the top bolts as well).

Hi every1,

Surely you can remove that hideous red plastic from the Assembly? Im going to try! bit of heat gun action, it is a sealed unit but can be pulled apart carefully when heat applied. HOPEFULLY!!! Unless you guys no different?

 

you still have to get the red led bulb and for the sake £65 for the lens and bulb off bigphil i would rather only take the bumper off once :headhurt:

+1 - the bulb is a tenna, so its only £55 for the light assembly really. Plus, I'm not sure how the MOT chaps will take it, so I'd rather have my original to go back to if it fails :thumbs:
