I need two new rear light clusters

[mcbutler]

My new Magnetti Marelli rear lamp clusters arrived early the next morning! Delivery driver was incredible, he/she actually sent me a text while i was in the gym asking if I was in and if not where to leave them, I told him/her next door and they confirmed the delivery with a photo..... Beat that hermes......
Took about 40 minutes to swap them over, its worth noting that newer lamps only have two securing studs (thanks for the advice chaps), whereas older have three. Important to blank off the unused hole and I used two small patches of construction flashing tape back to back either side of the hole. BMW sell a waterproof tape but I prefer something I KNOW will work.
Another caution, pull the seals through and ensure they are properly seated BEFORE you tighten the lamp securing nuts....
I left the boot interior trim off and hosed the car as well as the endless rain we are having and no leaks so reassembly is today.
I purchased a brilliant set of trim removal tools from eurocarparts for £12, screwfix do a great set for £11 but they were closed....
