Rear Number Plate Lights

[Guest gs fan]

Removing the No plate lens covers on early C5 models was a nightmare ,I know of most owners who go to replace the bulbs giving up and taking the car to the dealer. I got mine out but the small securing tabs broke and I thought I'd have to replace the lenses , as a temp' fix I secured them by rolling up Blue Tack and pressing it between the lens and the boot lid trim ,this secures them firmly and due to their shape there is no chance of them coming free . I had intended this to be a temp' solution but 2 years on they are holding firm , and as replacing the bulbs will be easy now ,just a case of removing the old tack and replacing it with new stuff .
