ZT, Removing Rear Number Plate Light Cluster.

hogesar · 3rd July 2015, 12:38

Problem. MOT soon. Rear light cluster not working. Fine, I say, go to remove and...

Someone's tried, and basically threaded what looks like the plastic screws holding in place from underneath the boot lid. Can't seem to get anything constructive in the small spaces in the bootlid to uhh..get it out. Is there any other way? I know i'm not explaining myself clearly, i'll try to take pictures later to help you understand!

Yeah, the outer ones are definitely just spinning. Any way to get round this?

Good luck I had to source another and break the old one off unfortunately.

Instead of fixing the pcb which is normally loose bulb holder contacts that need re soldering to the pcb an alternative is to solder new wires directly onto the bulb holder contacts themselves this doing away with the pcb
