Fitting cupra lights

[mattcogg1981]

Hi all,

Just purchased some second hand cupra lights from a forum member and wanted some advice on fitting them this weekend.

1. What tools do I need?
2. What common problems are there?
3. How long will it take?
4. Anyone got any step-by-step instructions?

Thanks in advance

Matt

Sorry Rosco can't seem to find anything about cupra rear lights!

 

[Rosco906]

ahh rear,

should they not fit straight in?

 

[mattcogg1981]

Not sure hence the post! Just found a good guide on removing boot trim. Looks like I need some torx screws!

I have them on mine.

They're exactly the same size I swapped mine with redcupratdi. Just the backgrounds are a different colour.

I belive all you need is actually a posidrive screwdriver, the centre bits are easy. The side bits require a bit of force after you've undone their screw. Just give it a good pull!

Shouldn't have an problems

So much better than red

the outside rear lamps are two size25 torx screws each side! the metal clips on the outsides are a bit of a bitch on some ibizas! but give it a tug!

the inner boot rear lights have two rubber covers with size 25torx hidden then remove the covers on the boot trims and should see two more size 25torx each side then they should fall out!
