Sorry, what's the point of this?? Visually, there's hardly any difference so there must be some other reason??

Nope - cosmetic only

I just prefer the look of the facelift lights

Try making a sentence out of 'off' and 'sod'

Why would I want a namby pamby FL front - looks cack compared to the pre-facelift IMO :moon:

I like the Porsche Cayenne front calipers......doesn't mean I want a Porsche Cayenne

You will have to fit the LED ones next

Nah, the pre-FL is far more aggressive...

Hi there,

Good job. Could you please do a quick guide as to how to access and change the lights on the Estate please?

One of mine has a crack so will need to replace it and I don't want to break/snap anything else en route !!

Many thanks,

Regards

Its dead easy... 15 minutes max.

1) Pull off the carpet / bootliner flaps inside the boot allowing access to the back of the lights.

2) Unplug the large electrical connector and tuck it out of the way.

3) Squeeze the two plastic lugs which releases the bulb holder from the back of the actual cluster.

4) Manipulate the bulb holder towards you away from the cluster, be careful as the bulbs can get caught as they pull out through their access holes.

5) Now the bulb holder is removed your visibility improves! You should then see four silver threaded bolts that secure the cluster to the body of the car, two at the top and two at the bottom. Unscrew the nuts (be careful not to drop them as you thread them off the end of the bolts).

6) The light cluster should then pull away from the car - there is a foam / rubber pad which seals any water / wind ingress. This may casue resistance when trying to remove the cluster but just push/pull a little harder and will come away easily enough.

7) Once it releases don't pull it away from the car too fast. There are two independantly wired 5W bulbs. These just pull out from the cluster but only become visiable once the cluster is released from the car slightly.

The hardest bit of the whole process is getting your spanner over the end of the threaded bolts, if you have small hands you'll have an advantage when it comes to turning them off the last few threads!

Hope this helps!

^^^^^^^^ Exactly what I would have said

I didn't know you could get LED brake calipers :p

I prefer the pre-fl ones, at least on hatches. EDIT - unless the car is candy white, in which case the fl ones work ok.

Mine's silver and the FL ones suit it well. IMO.
