Davy31dcp Posted October 18, 2014 Author Share Posted October 18, 2014 Thank you both for your reply, sorry for the lack of info Keith its a 2013, Ray yours will be the same, As you will know they are removed by a small screwdriver at the bottom of the light, Autotrail told me how to remove and reinstall but didn't seem that easy,not sure if I've lost some thing?

Rayjsj Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 I just reseated it back and gave it a whack with the palm of my hand, it snapped back into posistion. Was I just lucky ?? Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davy31dcp Posted October 20, 2014 Author Share Posted October 20, 2014 Thanks Ray, I will give that a try at the weekend and let you know, failing that I will run it to the dealer And let them show me how it's done !! Cheers Davy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keithl Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Davy, I'm assuming your rear lights are the kind with a metal spring clip on the bottom edge. If so to remove them as you describe you are pushing a screwdriver into a slot to release the spring clip then pulling the bottom away from the panel and the top then follows. So I would guess that to refit them you need to hook the top into the panel then push the bottom back in. It may help to use the screwdriver exactly as you did when removing the light to ease the clip and help the light return to position. Keith.
