I thought id add this ,as those instructions don't mention it, but when installing the drivers side tail lamp, take care to ensure you do not trap the rear washer/squirter water feed pipe.

This rubber hose/pipe runs very near to the tail lamp bracket, it is held just enough out of the way by a factory tie, but sometimes when playing around inside (with wires etc) the water hose can fall down and get slightly trapped or squeezed when you tighten up the tail light retaining bolts.

This could cause a leak, or stop water coming out the rear washer all together (as happend to me)

Zombie thread will eat your brains.............

Resurrecting this old chestnut as I can't see how to get the light covers off for the lights either side of the barn doors (not the one in the rear bar). They're sealed from the outside and I can't get my hand in through the back.

Can anyone suggest how to get to the bulbs before I rip or break something off....

Cheers

On the GU its in behind the Jack cover on one side and the pull out insert on the other, 2 x 10mm bolts either side ,might need to thump with your palm carefully to dislodge

Thanks very much 3D. I was going to undo the bolts but didn't want something bad to happen. You're a champ.

Digging up an old thread,

The better half informs me the other day whilst backing into the garage, that the drivers side reverse and brake lights are out. I'm thinking probably the clip has fallen out, no biggie. Today I've taken her out and no word of a lie found that the entire tail light assembly didn't have any globes, wiring or anything hooked up to it.

I was absolutely flabbergasted. How could something like that be passing rego for 4 years! Stupidly it was the one thing I didn't check before I handed over cash for the bloody thing. Thankfully It's still under the statutory warranty.

Hi James,
Check old posts and you will find rear lights are dummies as they do not comply with the ADRs (spare wheel blocks the visual of RH light, that is why they are in the lower bar. I have replaced mine with ones I purchased from EBay ($120.00) fully wired with globes. The passenger side plugs straight into loom drivers side you have to source Earth, and Reverse. Do a search there is a heap of info on previous threads.
