Rear Number Plate Lights

Post by GrahamL »

Hi,
I have looked throughout this site and elsewhere.

How on earth are the two number plate lights secured to the rear of the van underneath the tailgate?

The photo links offered in a couple of posts seem for me unavailable, so any help will be appreciated.

Pull away the rubber door seal from above the lights.

Then push down the clips either side of the lamp fittings and then pull towards you.

Cheers bigherb for the help.
Simple in the end, obviously I had over thought the problem.
Both went on in a flash.

Anyone know who stocks the plastic units, one of mine fell off, and the clips are broken, beyond superglue, VWertage don't seem to stock?

Assuming for a van not a pickup, (which are different)
