General Bulb changing - bull bars!!!!

[Roadsterchinsk]

Hi folks,
got pulled by the police last night for a rear bulb out.

Decided to replace them all as probably worth it.
Cant get the rear bulb thing off as the part of the bull bars are blocking access to the lower screw. Any idea if this part of the bull bars is easy to get to/remove?

Not had a chance to get under the car at work but ill try tonight.


Cheers
Jonathan

Hi, Sorry about your problem.
This is always a difficulty with the rear light cages, The only way that we have found around it is to:
a, cut off the bottom screw fixings from the rear cages.
b, fit new ones to the side of the cage so that they screw through the light cluster into the rear quarter-panel.
c, having done this,you can cut off the bottom mount from the light cluster and make two saw cuts into the top of the light casing to allow rapid (ish) bulb changing.
...hope this helps............

I think ill be changing all the bulbs when they are off - has anyone used the LED's cluster things? They apparently use less current ad last for ever (almost).

?

I have bought a "round" of bulbs from Halfrauds to replace everything as it could probably all do with a little overhaul along with sortign out the grounds etc.
