5 Door Facelift Rear Lights

moleskn1 · Oct 21, 2016

Hey guys!,
In need of some help here, my back left light has just died on me after flickering for a week or so..
It does look like it has some water/condensation inside it and both sides of the left hand side, light have stopped working

So my question is, Is it a whole new light unit or should these lights last a long time, Car is about 5 years old.

Mine did this was the wiring loom from car to the light. I never had water/condensation though

Not really, i like wiring. I bypassed the original block with a crimp. You can buy new connectors from ebay and do it genuine, but mine has lasted and i've not bothered tbh
Mine looked ok till i started to wiggle the wires coming from the connector, then the light started to flash on/off. Easy fix.

If its got water inside, you'll need to remove, strip, hairdryer the lights, maybe clean up any corrosion, then seal round the edges & check the light holder seal, test in bowl of water for leakage, refit if no leakage.

Wiring, well water in light says allot tbh, so remove & check for leaks 1st.
