I know that this post (and vid) is a bit old, but I just wanted to say thank you as I found it invaluable when I replaced both tail lights at the weekend :thumbsup:

Wish I'd watched this video before I did mine a the weekend, I didn't raise the roof which meant I had a bit of trim constantly getting in the way :headbang:

I should've taken a photo, but on the drivers side on the bumper underneath the lamp do you have what look like 3 drain holes? I can't see them on the passenger side and not sure if they should be covered with foam or something.

Hello,
I have water in one of my tail lights. Is anyone knowing how to remove the lights? (The video in this thread is removed). Please if you have an advise from the very beginning, how to remove the textile cover in the trunk ets.

Greetings
Ake

Blind; I found it just above. Very helpful.

You can use newtis [1] for info. Just follow all the tasks (and preliminary tasks) and there should be no need for a video.
