Title: high stoplihgt how to change bulbs?
Post by kluge on Apr 29^th, 2004, 6:44pm

Hi

Could anyone please help me?
How to change bulbs in the high stop light?
I don't know how to remove the black cover- is it removable at all? Or there is any other way?

regards

hi there

i'm not sure. haven't done it myself, thankfully!
is it a estate or saloon? on the estate, i would think when the say pull down, they mean 'up' the glass, as the tailgate will be upside down! does this make sense?

Well

Its over now :))

Manual says not all.
On the back of my lamp cover there is a hole.
I thought I put a screwdriver into and to push forward or down to release supposed lock. No way I could not find any.
So "if still doesn't work, get a bigger hammer"
After a day tryin I put a lot of power to detach the cover, I mea a LOT of power.
Finally I got the cover off.
Well, there is a lock inside and its supposed to be pushed down but even knowing it I could not release it when training for future. Tricky beast!
In the end - bulbs were OK but the contacts were badly positioned. I fixed it in minute and now it works.
