Emergency Gauge/Tail Light Assy service 04

Rate this Entry













These are the main parts required for creating fresh new tail light assy just for one side.
Addition to this, you will need some minor parts plus bit of know-how to keep the fresh looking.






New light bulbs with E marking.
They are different spec from JDM ones but those are the ones specified for European market and written on the back of the tail light housing.

As JDM spec uses 3 x small light and 2 x brake light per side, best to use the same spec/brand to achieve the same lumens for the looks.
I got them from the local Halfords so the owner should be able to find the replacement with ease if required.







New light bulbs on the L side loom with thin coat of silicone grease around the bulb socket and connector terminals.












Beautiful new tail light assy.
When it’s new, there will be no gap or warpage between the light housing, lens and the bezel despite the fact that they are in different shape and material.








Always use OEM gasket as it will create sticky tight seal to the mating boot metal frame once compressed.

Cleaned the area in preparation for the installation.
