Side Repeater lamp replacement

[Naso Grande]

Good Morning all,

Is it nescessary to remove the 1/4 panel to change the Side Repeater lamp or is it possible to pop the light assembly out without causing any damage to the light or surrounding panel?

Any techniques or which tools to use would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Graeme

I can't remember exactly, but I think it is just a grommet in the panel you remove. No need to take the inner panel out. It was a quick job for me.

The repeaters were attached with double-stick tape on my US car. I replaced them with white lens parts that clip in.

They are just pushed in

Sometimes the cable is not long enough and the lamp holder pops out as you un-clip the repeater.

There is something like 50 mm rubber grommet on the inner wing if this is the case, this enables you to plug the lamp holder back in.

Thanks for the replies. I've been able to seperate the clear lense from the main part of the repeater body but this will need to be glued back on. The repeater body itself feels very securely attached and I'm a bit wary about trying to prise that out without knowing for sure how it's being held in place.

Cheers,

It prizes out left to right (or vise versa) - design uses lugs at either side.

Try to secure the cable from falling inside the wing with some tape otherwise you'll need to go through the hassle of removing the panel.
