It has been mentioned that I seem to be on the Man-Mountain size.

Beautifully in proportion of course. :shock:

Purely because the other threads are pointles without the functional link. :boxing:
It's probably possible to fit rear lights without removing the bumper, but why bother, it takes minutes to take the bumper off anyway.
First two are located under the rear bumper

Second lot are located under plastic body coloured caps at the point where the lights meet the bumper, 10mm bolts

Next are the three screws fastened into the lower rear splitter

Last screw is located in the upper wheel arch, nipping the bumper onto the bodywork

And hey presto, it almost falls off in your hand. It's actually easier taking these to bits than french cars

I only really wanted it off so i could try these older lights on, i'm unsure if i like them or not now though...

The lights themselves have 3x 8mm nuts which are easy to remove, they're accessable by removing the plastic trim in the boot. But they also have 2x 10mm nuts located behind the bumper

Here's a before, during and after
