Tail Lamp: Description and Operation

The rear lamp clusters incorporate the back-up lamps, rear turn indicator lamps, rear fog lamps, tail lamps and stop lamps.

Each rear lamp cluster is secured to the body by three nuts. A rubber gasket around the periphery of the lens seals the lamp cluster with the body. Clips secure the lens to the lamp cluster housing and a rubber gasket seals the interface.


NOTE: To release the clips (eg. for lens replacement), the old lens has to be broken.


The upper part of the lens is clear and the lower part is red. The area of the lens over the tail lamp incorporates a reflector.

A bulb carrier, clipped on the housing, contains all the bulbs:
- P 21 W back-up lamp bulb
- PY 21 W turn indicator lamp bulb
- P 21 W rear fog lamp bulb
- R 5 W tail lamp bulb
- P 21 W stop lamp bulb.

Access for bulb replacement is from within the trunk, by releasing a flap on the trunk seal retainer and removing the bulb carrier.
