Transit Rear Light

[SteveStrat335]

Hello All,

I have an old D reg Transit & need to replace a rear light as someone smashed it for me during the night (Grrr).

I got a replacement 1986-200 light, but it's a bit different to the one on my van.

Basically, the old one has all the electrical connections built in so that one plug connector wires all the lights.

The replacement I got doesn't have this arrangement, and looks like each bulb holder has to be wired individually. This means I would need to get new bulb holders & extend all of the wires which seems like a pain.

I just wondered if any one had come across this before or knows a quick fix?

Is there some kind of conversion kit I can buy? How easy would it be to remove the clear plastic lens & just replace that part?

Cheers,

Steve

Well, after a week or so - no replies.

Does anyone know of another motor forum that may be more frequented & help me sort this out?

Thanks for that keyplayer

Looks like the place - I'll try it now.

(Why my Google didn't find that forum, I'll never know).
