9n3 rear lights

Post by bonny »

Just wondering if it's possible to split the rear lights? When I bought the car there was water in the left one & it's stained the silver reflective coating inside! So I'd like to clean it up & maybe spray the outside black instead of the standard red.

Thanks in advance
Craig

Don't think its possible to split the lamp cluster
i have the same issue with my rhs water ingress turning the reflective coting black ( seems a very common sight ).
I took it off and poured in some Rainex and rinsed it around for a while then dried it with a hairdryer.
It cleaned it up for a little while but after a few months it is as bad as ever.
I think the only real solution is to replace it.

Thanks for the reply. Oh well a new one it is. Next question is where is the water coming from? Could it be the foam seal has seen better days or is it leaking in from someone else [emoji849]
