Open the tailgate and you'll see two cross head screws in the black plastic part of the light fitting.

Looking at many for sale ads ... some do take the 'P' with Bongo prices ...

Just compare the price of say a Ford Transit rear light cluster with a Bongo ..!!

The Wheeler Dealers TV program where renovating a DeLorean ... a brand new rear light cluster was cheaper than many eBay rear lights for Bongos ..!!
