Rear number plate light
« on: October 08, 2011, 07:59:54 pm »
One of the lights in the rear bumper above the number plate has come out, it looks like a clip has broken off. I can push it back into place but it falls out again, can someone confirm there should be a clip that keeps it in place.

Hello mate,

Yes there is a clip on the right hand side that keeps it in place. Ive replaced both of mine for this and now one has broken again  :fighting:

Thats the side I thought the clip was on. Do you have a part number? Are they easy to replace/re-attach to the wiring?

Yes, this the full numbers listed on my invoice: P A1J6 943 021 B they where 7.47+vat for one back in december last year. Yes they are really easy, just disconnect the wiring connector going to the old one and re connect to the new one and push the unit in. Left side first then the right  :happy2:
