Changing brake light bulbs..... About to turn expensive...
So I've had a check brake light warning for a while now and I finally had time today to swap in a new bulb.
A quick video tutorial for me sorted on how to undo the rest light clusters. The dead bulb was replaced and, add it was brighter, I decided to swap out the drivers side too. Everything went smoothly, until tightening up the lower bolt. There was no resistance. And the bolt was still attached to me ratchet. The locating screw/rod thingy from the light cluster that mounts through the slots on the body had shorn off in the end of the bolt. I figure a fresh hex bolt is nothing. But... The locator pin appears integrated into the light cluster so I'll need a while new cluster? Pricey business, even on eBay. I'm thinking I'll pay the garage to do the headlights come winner rather then risk it.

I decided to upgrade to LED so I've got a spare pair of tail light clusters from my 2011 Exec RHD
Passenger side has a damaged red lens (might be fixable with superglue as the broken piece is inside the lens) Drivers side is perfect. Make me an offer. Cheers Dave |
