rear numberplate lights

[craigdmjv]

how do you change the rear numberplate lights iv tried the manual and it gives no info iv heard about putting two screw drivers in the little hole but that didnt work so how do you do it lol i even tried to get halfrauds to fit it and they gave up and give me a refund lol

I have never done it myself but the manual says:

Open the boot lid and unclip the lens cover from the light unit.
Using a small screwdriver unclip the light unit from the boot lid panel, and then disconnect the wiring connector as the light unit is removed.
Carefully unclip and remove the lens from the number plate light unit. The bulb is of the capless (push-fit) type, and can be removed by simply pulling it out of the light unit.
Refitting is the reverse of the removal procedure, ensuring that the lens is securely clipped in position.

Good luck. Let us know how you get on.

I found very good video, that helped me a lot......I ruined only one light, which I repeared somehow in the end after installing leds. i hope there is no need to change them more.

Both ours broke when I tried (old hardened plastic probably)

So having pinched them out of the hatchback, which wasn't in use at the time, I put them in the CC.

I then bought a new pair complete with bulbs of fleabay and put those in the hatchback

Did one on mine.

Put a small screw driver into the hole in the plastic tab (either side, doesnt matter), then gently push that away from the lens, it should then unclip

I was gentle ... honest ... still exploded in a shower of clear plastic bits ...
