Anyone with a chargespeed rear help??

[hensh65]

My registration light is out, i had a small fiddle myself but wouldnt come out. Took it to halfrauds as i needed a brake light bulb anyways and they couldnt get it out either. Is it a bumper off job ???

They ought to just pop out, you need to be a bit rough with them -not ridiculously so though! You kind of grip them lengthways and push to the right and pull down on the right at the same time I seem to remember.

 

Edit - Sorry this is for the standard fitting, I can't see it being that much different!

I've had the original and the RT copy. The original bumper allows you to pull out the number plate light covers as you would expect with no problem but the RT one I have found a lot tighter. I did mine last weekend and couldn't believe how tricky it was. In fact the right hand side one hasn't gone back in properly. Just be patient and wiggle till it comes free.

Thanks wasso, just my luck its the right that need replaced

Its going into the body shop in a couple of weeks, just hope the police dont pull me

Thought I should update this as the CS rear is basically OEM bumper these days

 

The right reg light does sit further in but it is possible to get out but not without some swearing involved

 

Both done just in time for the MOT and without the rear bumper coming off

Glad its all sorted.

 

I have to take one of mine out again, for some reason I'm getting a flickering bulb??

Neilp gave me a had originally and we noticed one of them was going off and on. I think it was something to do with it not been clipped in properly which shouldn't really make it flicker but it did.
