Boot light

[Daveyb133]

How do i get the boot light cover off?

dont want to just pull it, may break it, putting LED's in there

I just prised mine off carefully with a knife, the trouble I had was taking out the bulb because to do it I needed the boot open which meant the light was on so the bulb was hot, had to wrap my finger in my sleeve and pull it out quick!

it is on a clip where the cable goes into the body i just pushed down a little leaver on the plug and took it off

 

[Daveyb133]

pushed that in and it came straight out

Pushing the correct clip normal helps

 

[Daveyb133]

Watch out Ferrari - if you genius (ssssss) get together you could make a car to rival them.

When I bought a pack of two blue LEDs for in the Gordini, I replaced the boot one as well.

You can actually reach underneath the plastic where the boot light is fitted and push the fitting out pretty easily.

Thanks for this thread, was wondering how it came off, read the manual but still couldnt work it out, before i go out and try agin what side of the plastic housing is the clip on?

The clip is on the side facing the front of the car. When you look at it you will see it is pretty easy to do

And I had all doors and boot closed, locked the car and put one of the seats down and leant over in the back so I didn't burn my fingers... In the end it was a bit of a pain lol

 

[holliedynamique]

Thank u what did you use to push the clip in, a flathead screwdriver?

 

[Courtney]

My key lol

I just noticed, my cup doesn't have one...?

The bootlight was taken off the Cup's standard equipment, maybe to save weight lol :lol: to be honest I got on fine with my last car that didnt have a boot light

 

[holliedynamique]

My key lol

Good idea thank u will post pics up later in my progress thread if i manage to do it

 

[maggi200]
