Mike77 Posted December 31, 2012 Share Posted December 31, 2012 LED'S the only other option really mate, loads on eBay, legal and a lot more white than the standard rubbish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astonnick Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 I tried to change mine but could never get the !Removed! bulb holders out :( Managed to prize both lights from the boot lid a fair way, but never enough to get the original bulbs out. Had to give up in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to give up in the end. Assuming yours is a mk2.5 then a very thin screwdriver slotted into the inner side of the light should release the spring and then the bulb unit should drop out. Then the grey bulb holder with about a 1/4 turn should come out easily enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then the grey bulb holder with about a 1/4 turn should come out easily enough Yeah that's what I read somewhere, but couldn't for the life of me get it out. Pushing the screwdriver in just broke the clip, and no amout of wiggling seemed to help unfortunately. Thanks for the info though, might give it another bash tomorrow!

Stoney871 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 If you've nacked the clip i believe you can remove the trim from inside the hatch and unclip the light from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
