Title: How to Change rear light bulbs
Post by: Ben_1uk on 23 May 2009, 16:33: Don't shoot me Rhyso but I've already looked and cannot find the answer :laugh::tongue:

I need to change one of my tail light bulbs because I think the bulb has "silvered up" inside. Can anyone provide me with an easy to follow step-by-step guide for a complete novice? Anything I should take care of also?

Thanks,
Ben.

Open your boot and behind the light is a flap which you undo where you can then access the rear of the light cluster and unclip the plastic back to the cluster to expose all of the bulbs :)

Would that be a fog light?
Title: Re: How to Change rear light bulbs
Post by: Ant1981 on 24 May 2009, 13:42: Possibly a fog, which side are you working?

I can't remember without looking if fog works on both sides, they don't on all cars, only some.

Post by: Ben_1uk on 24 May 2009, 13:51: It's the passenger side

All fitted and working! I'm not going to bother wiring up the second fog for how often it'll get used. Thanks for the heads up though.
