Broken tail light replacement
Hi,
I need to replace my passenger-side inner (boot mounted) tail light (I bought a 2nd hand replacement off ebay). Has anyone done this, looks like it should be an easy job, but just thought I'd check in case there's anything tricky or to watch out for when doing this. Does it simply clip in, I can't see any screws? Many thanks. |

Replaced the tail light today, the instructions were great, but two small corrections, you need an 8mm socket (not 10mm), and there are 6 fasteners to remove, not 4 as indicated on the pictures (there are extra 2 in the indentations in the lining, they're easy to spot).
