How the hell do you change rear light bulbs??

HELP with my T350

I have phoned Racing Green and they said just remove the rear panel, or later ones un screw, they are now closed and am really struggling.

I have looked at the "Manuel" no help.

There seems to be a big piece of leather covered cover about 4 inches big running the length of the boot and down to the floor, i have a little compartment at the rear and either side are speakers.

The carpet is fixed under this bar and there dosnt seem to be any way of getting to the bulbs unless you start to dismantle this hoop/bar which incorporates the rear hatch latch.

Any help would be good as i have a rear tail light and a brake light gone on the same side, which is the opposite side to the fuel filler.

Thanks in advance.

Have you had a look at VarleyHYD's Saggy pages? They've come up trumps for me in the past.

Yes, and i still dont understand how the cover comes off so you can get to the carpet underneath were the panel is to eventually gain access, also the speakers seem to also hinder the removal of these panels as well!!

It's a pain in the @arse to do and will require patience.

You can remove the lether covered covers either side, whhich gives you acees to the lights.

Take off the bulb cover and replace. This is the bit I struggled with when I had one go on mine because there is virtually no space at all for your hands, you also need to have your head upside down on the boot carpet so you can see what the hell you're doing.

If you need anymore help drop me a PM.

Best of luck.

how do you remove the leather coverered loop, this piece is about 3ft long and then extends down about 10" Does this clip off or is it screwed on?

Right i have fixed it, on the later T350 there is no flap, you have to bend the moustache( the half pipe shaped liked an n covered in leather) out of the way.

First though lift carpet up on floof and locate screw at bottom on moustache, unsrew this, then unscrew the toggle at the top of the moustache where you attached the blind, you just need to do this on one side as this is quite flexible, once you have done this bend out of the way to reveal all the light clusters easily accessible.

I think this is the same on the saggy as well.

Hope this helps anyone else that might be struggling.

Thanks for Hoolio for phoning me with some ideas

Tried to change a bulb myself 3 years ago but after extricating my hand from inside the light cluster it looked as if it had been attacked by a shoal of piranha 's.
