Rear Lights

Post by george-225 »

I am going to buy some smoked rear lights for my 6n. they say they fit straight on, but how do i go about this, and is it fairly simple?

thanks.

if theyre the same as teh mk5 which i believe they are, u unplug them at he back and undo the 3 bolts to take each light cluster out then put the new one in, do up the 3 nuts andplug in. then check the bulbs all work. also depends wat rear lights ur getting.

If you have the normal rear lights you're better off spraying them red or black. Just as effective. If not you could get a set of 16v rears (although not tinted enough) which would be cheaper then aftermarket lights.
