Guest JudgeMental Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I would hazard a guess from inside the van? Dont you have a handbook, how would you change a lamp.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crbtaylor Posted April 29, 2013 Author Share Posted April 29, 2013 Nothing in the handbook and garage behind lights has visible fastenings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracker Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 Autotrail are known for being very helpful and quite possibly a quick phone call to them would elicit the answer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodles Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 My OH said that the rear lights have a slightly flattened edge somewhere around the moulding encasing each light. He reckons its a case of pushing with fingers on this area and twisting it then the light should come out and the handbook would probably give no information on this as its a Fiat handbook not Autotrail. Good luck :-D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 There's a similar inquiry here: http://www.motorhomefacts.com/ftopic-113042-days0-orderasc-0.html The inquiry relates to replacing tail-light bulbs on a 2010 Auto-Trail Comanche, but I think a 2013 Frontier Delaware has the same rear-light arrangement. The 2nd page of that MHF thread carries this advice from Auto-Trail: "To remove the light you need to insert a small flat screwdriver between the plastic and the bottom edge of the light. I would place a cloth between the red plastic and the screwdriver so you do not mark the plastic. You will see a narrow slot in the base of the light. The light is held in place with a spring clip." Follow-up advice from an MHF forum member was: At the bottom of the light unit, under where it says "Hella", there is a channel. You need to make a thin tool bent into an L-shape at one end. Slide this into the channel with the "L" pointed up: push down and this will release the bottom of the light unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Uzzell Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 crbtaylor - 2013-04-30 8:47 AM Thanks all, easy when you know how, AND no damage done... So which removal technique proved to be correct - the push-and-twist one suggested by Noodles, or the use-a-screwdriver one suggested on the MotorHomeFacts forum?
