2004 clio rear lights

since the previous owner hasnt commented on another thread i dont know if any1 else can help, i have attached pictures to show the problem, first one how they should look and the second picture of how the previous owner has put sealer between the light and bodywork. i know its hard to say but i was wondering y he has done this n if any could have a guess at the possible reason for it coz it might be a common problem? as to my understanding but not tryed yet, u have to take the unit out to replace the bulbs? (going led bulbs at the back from ebay ) and i dont want to peal off the sealer if i cant get the unit back into place.
cheers people

Yeah you have to remove to replace the bulb, dead easy just one screw thing in the boot behind it,

as to why he's put sealer on it god knows :S maybe it mists up and was trying to sold it?

 

[Scunny_182]

yeah thanks for that, i wanna replace the bulbs but i dont wanna risk having a light flapping around

Is the screw still there? If so you should be okay, bit of a mistery though!

 

[Scunny_182]

yes very. unsure ill have a look tomoz, if not surely its just a new screw job?

 

[Scunny_182]

has a screw behind the problem lens.... so whos knows, alread bought the bulbs tho...

I'd remover the sealer if you can and see if it gets a leak? If not then god knows haha

 

[Scunny_182]
