Taillight Help

ddogg35 · 02-25-2011, 12:47 PM

I dont suppose anyone has a spare retaining clip for the boot fog/reversing light, i managed to lose mine and my dealer wants me to buy a whole new light for £95 just for the 10p worth of plastic

walke_mr · 02-25-2011, 02:47 PM

Try a breakers yard they might have smashed on the rear car that you can get the clip off?
