Title: Re: rear light facelift upgrade Post by Baz on Sep 23rd, 2006, 1:03am Stafford, remove the trim panels from inside the boot (the big corner panels not just the one to change the bulbs) then there are 3 10mm nuts on each outer fitting and 5 on the centre bar. You will need to remove the carpet trim thingy to get at the ones on the bootlid. Use a nut driver or a 1/4 drive socket on an extension bar so that the tool is nice and slim. The centre bolt on the bootlid one is a tad awkward but comes off OK. Just be careful when you take the multiplugs off the lights that you realease the clip that holds thee catch on the plug otherwise you can pull the electrical contacts off the fittings..................... how do I know that?? One other thing. Because the lights have been clamped into place for a good few years, you may need to give them a little tap to braek the seal. I found the best way was to undo all the nuts but leave the two outer ones on by a couple of threads. Then, place the socket or nut driver over the nut and give it a short sharp tap with the palm of your hand..... should come off easy then. |
