i was hoping not but have a feeling it will be ive never had them off to look guess itl be an adventure for this weekend.

The only access to the reverse light void is through the hole for the bulb on the back of the cluster.

The cluster is one complete sealed unit...

What is it you are trying to do?

Rear running lights? Which lights would you intend to use for this? Would it not be better just to drive around with your lights on all the time? :)

Prob would be lol but i have running lights in the headlights and in the wingmirrors makes sense to me to have them in the rear to think i have a L.E.D fetish lol :)

I've had success cleaning dull reflectors in 'sealed' units by putting in some dry rice and water through the bulb fitting holes, sealing the holes up with tape or your hand, and then swirling the whole thing around for a few minutes. The rice is rough enough to clean the reflector but gentle enough not to scratch it. No problems from harsh chemical cleaners either. Don't leave the rice in ! :smirk:
