Ve ute tail light removal

[SLAF]

I have searched for a link to this with no luck. Any tricks to removing the tail light to the VE ute to replace a popped globe? Thanks

dony you remove it from the inside,,,

Yes. I have removed the inner panel and the plastic "nut" inside but nothing else wants to move. Access to the bulbs has to be after the lens is removed.

A bacco smashed my mates tail light lens, the guy driving it brought a whole new light, but how the hell do you remove it?

there are three nuts holding the light in place....i think its a 10 mm from memory.....after taking them off you need to wiggle the whole unit out

and getting to these elusive nuts?
are they behind the furthest pannel in the tray?

 

[tazdevil1964]

there is an access panel on each side towards the tailgate and when ope there is a nut at the top ,middle and bottom on the housing......you can use a socket with extension to undo......just make sure when taking off that the nut stays in the socket itself......
