Title: How do you remove the tail lights and side repeaters?
Post by: jonny116 on September 09, 2008, 04:04:57 PM
Does these simply pull off or is there a screw or anything hiding?
 
Thanks

open the boot three screws on top of the light covers faceing  up in the air then remove the center section cover all on top  then carefully with a big flat screw driver go in behind the cluster and apply a quick pop of force and they pop out backwards center light is  screwed in think its four phillips can do pics if needed

Undo the screws and slide the rear lights out to the side

FD rear lights slide out to the side away from the car.... might need a bit of welly :)

Side repeaters (on front wings) need to be pushed forward towards the front bumper, (or is it backwards LOL) then they pull straight out.

When i first tried to take them off took me forever, carefully pulling and pushing trying to get them off ended up getting a little annoyed gave it a swift palm on the inner side and off it came. LOL

Tbh i was dreading getting them off again to replace them with new ones in a few days time.

when i took mine off i had to keep checking if there was a rogue screw id missed. it took quite a big tug to yank them lose so be carefull you dont damage paintwork or drop them when they finally give.
