Left rear taillight

CKS · 07-30-2014, 06:40 AM

Hi guys,

Notice today that my left hand side brake light wasn't on

question is - is it as easy as just replacing the bulb? or do I need a whole unit?

Cheers

What you have marked there is the park light. Brake lights are just globes. I can't remember exactly for the park light, i have a feeling they are not globes.

Damme ok cheers - I'm going to pull the whole light assembly out on the weekend to get a closer look

Yeah i had the same issue when i bought my car, you have to essentially replace the whole taillight.

There was something on here where the connection goes, and you can resolder it or something of that nature.

Having said that there would be plenty of guys here keen to offload their old non lci tails to you im sure.
