Post by: VladTepes on Friday, 22 June 2018, 03:21 PM
Stupid question but I can't seem to find the right section in any of the manuals I have to hand.
Can anyone point me the right way please?  Ta.

As col says behind the tool kit
Its daily straightforward to change bulbs and indicators but if you need to get into wiring it's easier if you remove the tail plastics.

Mike to fit the bulbs I sent you, you will need to remove the tail plastics to get to the tail light, as, as I said in my note you need to file a gnats doodah off where they fit in fir the bulbs to go though. And it literally is just a gnats !!

That's not what I wanted to hear barmy because to do that I will no doubt have to remove the givi rack too - and from last time I did this is is a royal PITA to get everything bolted back up. sigh.

Well, not today then.

You might be able to do it in situ Mike with the tool pack taken out - or just try the bulb through yours as is, it may fit with a bit of jiggling, if not you may just be able to run a round file  around it in place. It is only a smidgen if so.
