Rear lights

[gumpy000]

Hi guys. Sorry if this is an easy one but how do u recommended removing the rear bottom lights (indicators/ fog/ reverse) but the casing not the bulb. Trying to get round to finishing my tints but those lights I'm struggling to find any info on removing? Do I have to take rear bumper off. If so a vid to show how.

 

Cheers

Its possible to access them without removing the bumper fully, but you still have to loosen it to give you enough space so not much more effort to take it off entirely.

 

Remove the rear light/brake cluster above and undo the bumper from the wheel arch and then you are able to pull slightly the bumper to give enough space to reach down under the gap left by removing the rear light. The indicator/foglight cluster will then pull up through the gap (its a tight fit!).

And prepare to lose the skin on your knuckles doing it.

If you need to remove them for tinting the lenses then you're going to have to take off the rear bumper almost entirely to make it easy for you so might as well go the full hog. I've never done it but pretty sure they're screwed in place so it'll be easier with the bumper off.
