Rear car body lights connectors not clipping in.
« on: March 26, 2011, 11:51:02 am »
Just swapped my R32 with another forum members standard lights and the electrical plug is not gripping. The pins line up and it fits the socket its just the clip wont click and it pops back out. Anybody else had this problem or knows how to rectify it?

Are all rear lights the same?

Cheers :happy2:

Hi matey, removing them is easy but when I replaced
my lights I found them a bit tricky tbh :scared:
If you push the clip in the same time you push
the connector they should click into place :happy2:
