A quick Q...rear light removal.

[Tornado]

So the rear light cluster is held by two 10mm bolts, but there is a hidden clip too. Do I pull the assembly straight back, or tilt it or what? There is some condensation in there I'd like to get rid of. Thanks.

Pull like hell straight out and hope that clip doesn't get damaged!

Thanks Mika, appreciate it, I'll give it a go tomorrow if it stops raining. Ever wonder why Ireland is so green? Yep, plenty of rain.

Nice day today, so I got the cluster out, attempted to mop out some of the water, but..what? nothing...oh, the lens is made of two layers and the moisture is between them. I don't know if they can be split easily. Anyway, I found the amber turn bulbs were losing their colour so no harm getting new ones.

Mine has amber tape on turning signals.
IMO looks bettes than stock whiteish turning signals!

Looks good, alright. I briefly considered using some sweet wrapper paper, but amber lens repair tape is a better bet. Looks like your car's the same colour as mine, I'm still using the name "Tornado" from the colour of my previous K11, instead of "Cornflower", for some reason.
