Upon removing the rear tail light, I was intrigued to see a hollow side entry hole, size of a 2p piece in the housing.(on the metal)
It looks like it had a foam sticker over it originally but clearly i can put my fingers in it. Is it wise to seal up this hole or is it there for a reason?:shrug:
Also the bolts that hold the unit in place are heavily rusted and there seems to be a bit of play when they are tightened. In fact, they dont tighten up.
The 2 plastic clips that affix to the housing (white plastic, with a square shank) are broken too *-( Though, may be salvagable.
When the lamp unit is secured via the 2 bolts, is it just simply the case of lining up the metal knuckles to fit into those white plastic clips above?
Also, the hole i mention above, is it possible for water to get into there and then into the boot, by anychance? Maybe, as the securing bolts aren't tightening, water could enter here too?
Sorry for all the questions....;)
Ill try and post a picture, in case im confusing everyone..lol
