Well having been a former Vauxhall Signum Owner, I wanted to fit some LED number plate lights. The ones for the Stilo looked the same fittings as my old Signum ones so I measured the item's on the Stilo to make sure etc.
Bingo they were the right size.
So after ordering some off eBay ( search Vauxhall Signum CAN Bus Error Free ) I finally got them delivered.
The normal rusty screw's broken heads etc later, I got them out of the housing. The old one's looked rusty and very poorly. So I cleaned both set's of housings up with WD-40 and set about making the new units fit correctly.
As you can see from the photos the fitting screw holes don't line up and the power spade's are a little short. So I got the tool's out and bent the spade's to match the old units and I decided to glue the new units into place. The new units were placed into place and dry fitted to test working etc. Then removed and glued into place. Tested again before the glue dried to make sure all was good.
I have posted a old photo from my Signum to show how bright they are. I will post one tonight with the Stilo showing the fully fitted one's.
