side repeater problem

[olliecook]

hi, as you can see in the picture, ive taken away the side repeater to leave it hanging by the wires, got the new crystal ones ready to go on, and i cant manage to get the black plastic backing from the orange plastic part.

am i missing a trick, cos i was told its easy to do.

any help would be brilliant


if the pic doesnt work, sorry, my comp is s**gged. but if basically that i cant get the blac platic bit which houses the bulb away from the orange plastic bit which shows through the bodywork. cheers ollie

should just twist off i think, mine were quite stiff when i changed mine. just use a bit of elbow grease!!

The black plastic bit as you call it is part of the repaeater lens . It looks like its plastic welded on . When i changed mine you took " all " of the side repeater off and the replacement repeaters had the bit on the back you call the " black plastic bit " . Don't know what side repeaters you've bought but they don't sound like ones for clios .

some mk 1's have detatchable lenses from the black bit, i know mine was.

sounds like youve got the wrong repeaters.

either send em back n buy right ones, or try break the lense off the plastic and then glue your lense to it

Ok , didn't know it was a mark 1 i assumed they were all the same on all clios.

his is a mk 2, but on some mk 1's they do have detatchable black backings, so the repeater hes got is for a mk 1, not mk 2
