Rear light bulbs

Post by rev pete » Fri Dec 04, 2009 3:58 pm

This may sound like a silly question but here goes :? I have to replace my drivers side reversing light bulb. I removed the two retaining screws for the lens but the lens cluster will not come off of the vehicle are their hidden screws or something that I cannot see holding it in place?? The whole thing comes loose but will not release itself and I do not want to risk breaking it by using force. :oops:

After removing the screws, move the whole unit to the side (away from the vehicle) - it then comes free :D

Sometimes needs a gently thump. There's a video somewhere on doing this isn't there John? Mind you, does it forget to tell you something important, like removing the screws before thumping?

If it's the one I'm thinking of Mike, it doesn't tell you to slide the unit but use a screwdriver to prise it off :lol:
