Changing rear light bulbs on Signum.. FFS!

[d_ghedia]

Whoever at vauxhall designed the light clusters needs to be shot.

For a start, the bulbs on the front are a pig to get to and you need hands like Jeremy ****** Beadle (even if you remove the airbox)... unless of course you decide to remove the lights completely.

I tried to remove the rear light clusters of the signum yesterday to replace the indicator bulbs with silver techs....
I removed the white thumb nuts and only managed to loosen the cluster but I couldn't get the damn thing off. Wiggled and jigged it every which way, I could but it just wouldnt budge. Same story on the other side. I even RTFM (read the fcu king manual) and still no luck.

I eventually gave up, put everything back and went in for a sulk!

Rant over!

Pull harder lol

Once the 3 thumb nuts are off there is nothing to hold them in place , I take it that you did remove all 3

Sounds like the bulb holders haven't been removed to me from the light cluster

Bob he probably missed the very top ones

Nope all three were off!!!

Maybe the rear lights have been 'sealed' on before

[d_ghedia]

Not sure about that... They were moving around a far bit.. It just seemed the needed a bit more of a 'yank' to get them out but in all honesty I was probably afraid of breaking them.
The NSR unit is misting up/letting water in, it probably does need sealing!
