Christmas lights on.... car lights off!

Post by Bryony84 »

A few days away from Christmas and just noticed my passenger tail light isn't working, not a big job but annoying when I don't have enough time as it is!!

Only had the car a month - how easy is it to get to the bulbs? My last car was ancient so it was pretty easy!

Yup, would have got it over the weekend but I wasn't at home for more than about 5 mins cos I was helping my mate move into her new flat in Havant!

Don't have any spare bulbs yet for the light as I only noticed on the way to work this morning, so got to find out which ones I need first.

Passenger side - Open the boot and pull back the carpet behind the light cluster, you'll then see the bulb holder. It has 2 little clip things either side, unclip them and it pulls away. Then you just pull out witch ever bulb is gone.

Drivers side - Same as above except there's 2 bits that turn and a flap that opens to reveal the bulb holder (has a green square with a qhite cross on it).

Hope that helps.
