The whole assembly will push in to the car - there are no screws holding it there.The trick when you are fitting it is to make sure it clicks back in, otherwise it will move around when you are driving.They are a *beep*.

Adam Here since the start... Lifetime Members 10,282 Member For: 20y 11m 23d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 08/05/06 09:02 AM Share Posted 08/05/06 09:02 AM There are 4 tabs that you need to press back to unlock each corner. If you reach up there you'll feel them. Once you get it out you'll see just exactly how it all works. As Luke said make sure they all clip back in.

After crawling under the car a few times to replace the bulb, I took it into the local dealer for them to fix the problem, only to be told that it was a warranty item.My phoon has had the same problem, guess what. The dealer can crawl under the car from now on.Don't waste your time, guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
