General Rear Light Cluster Removal HELP!!!

Brin · Nov 17, 2009

Hi,
I need to remove my rear light cluster i havnt tried yet because its raining and dark but i read the haynes manual and it said that i need a special tool to unbolt the cluster.

What is this special tool socket?
I didnt get any tools with the car, can i use some other tool instead?
Where can i get this tool from?

Thanks

only special tool you need is your hand and a screw driver/socket set.

Remove the clip and unbolt one and then directly below pull out the carpeted square and unscrew the other bolt.
Really rather simple

Thanks for all therm m8

I managed to take them off but my rear fog light bulb were 12v 21 WATT not 5 WATT m8

I think it should be 21 watt because it needs to be seen in the fog, 5 watt would be too weak.

And head rear bulbs that come on when headlights are turned on were 12V 5 WATT not 10 WATT

Not had any problems with any of my bulbs (well, except an unplugged courtesy light in the boot lol), so just lifted that table straight from the 'book. Not to say I didn't mistype anything lol

Not to mention that one of you may have an early Mk 2a and the other a late Mk 2b. I didn't see any specifics mentioned.

And I think a 17mm socket is what you need in this situation. That works on a 2000 Mk 2a.
