SteveyLa Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Would anybody be kind enough to help me out with this bulb change. I have released the rear light clusters but the reversing bulbs are not the push fit or twist lock fittings. I can't see how to access the bulbs, would be grateful for any assistance. Thanks, Steve K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGersFord Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 They are twist lock possibly abit stiff? W5W 501 bulbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveyLa Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 Daniel, thanks for your reply. When I released the clusters, only the indicator and brake lamps were twist lock, and therefore accessible from the "inside". It looks to me like the reversing bulbs are accessed from the "outside" of the unit, and that there is a clip out unit within the coloured lens section. I wanted to see if anybody else had removed these at all and if so, how easy it was ? Thanks again for your reply. Steve K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGersFord Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 I changed my reverse bulbs to LED Bulbs last night and its definately a twist lock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveyLa Posted December 29, 2012 Author Share Posted December 29, 2012 OK mate, I'll give it another go. Thanks for your help ! Regards, Steve K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGersFord Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 How did you get on mate? Ive got the fiesta mk 6 and changed my brake lights to the 6.5 ones and I had to buy the bulbs holders and all that with the lights but I wouldnt imagine it would be any different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveyLa Posted December 30, 2012 Author Share Posted December 30, 2012 Hi Dan. No luck I'm afraid, the 6.5 clusters are definitely not twist lock for the reverse lamps. Still looking for a way to get into them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
