Removal of rear central light cluster

Post by jimpearceuk » Tue Apr 05, 2011 10:57 pm

I have a new shape with the light cluster in the centre of the tailgate and I want to change a one of the bulbs, they are the ones either side of the number plate.

There are 2 x 10mm nuts on the edge of the tailgate, when they are off anyone any ideas how to get in please?

I assume its a pull but I need to know in what direction!

Thanks as always

And a twistlock cap on the inside of the tailgate (accesible with rear trim panel removed) in each bottom corner of the tailgate. It can't be seen though and has to be felt... I think it unlocks counter clockwise. Best to wear some heavy duty gloves to help with grip, and to reduce taking the skin of your knuckles should suddenly release. The bulbs in the second set of rear lights are standard wedge bulbs as fitted to most front sidelights. :wink:
