Offline | Changing rear light cluster - help wanted Have got a broken rear light cluster, and want to change it - I've brought the new part. Can anyone offer any tips or instructions about changing it? I've tried using the search function, but can't find anything relevant. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks |

Offline | It's very simple. Open the boot and remove the covers on the sides. If you look inside, you'll see the back of the light cluster. There's one large plug connected to the cluster, which you can remove. You should see a nut that is screwed on to a long thread (which is part of the light cluster). Undo this and remove it. On the other side of the light cluster (i.e. the side of the car) there are 2 big clips, which you need to squeeze and you should feel the cluster pop out. You should just be able to wiggle it out. Install the new on in the same way: push it in, ensure it clips in, put the nut back on and tighten, then reconnect the plug to the back of the cluster. |

Offline | Thanks for the info, will have a go at fixing it at the weekend. I've got the harmon/kardon upgrade, I'm hoping the location of the pre-amp doesn't get in the way too much. |
