helpp.....
ok was changing my bulbs this morning as my reverse lights were blown.
and the metal frame thing that the rear clusters srew into fell off and the lenses broke....

now this frame business is it suppose to be fixed to the body or do they come off ?
just a little worry as it just fell off when the lense snapped...

now need a set of rear light clusters for the back.. dont suppose anyone has an old set around that they wanna flog very cheap.. they need to be complete with the bulb holder thing as mine is rusted due to a leaking light resess

can you comment on the metal frame thing or you not sure if its suppose to come off ?

 

[NickWebb]

do you mean the bit that the bulbs screw into if so then yes its meant to come of (i think)

EEErrrr.... if its the metalwork that the cluisters attach to then no its not supposed to come off! But I could be wrong!

yeh its the metal work. i unscrewed the top not to get the cluster out and the top bit just fell off..... there is no weld marks or owt on it so cant see how it was stuck on if it was...........
i hope it just clips on otherwise im screwed...

just been told by a couple of mates that they work on preasure and are not fixed in any way shape or form.
the cluster screws into the metal plates and when they are tightened up they are pressed against the body and this makes them tight...
is this true.

the plate is the little triangle one that the top bolt screws into on the light.

. Those bits do come off. They do work on pressure to hold them in place, so don't worry. The other thing is when you put your new clusters back on, remember to seal them with silicone or something watertight that if need be can be pryed off. I didn't and for months i had little puddles in my boot.

the metal bit is supposed to come off when you undo the screw
