![Question](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Hi guys.
After many months searching I have got hold of some STI rear lights for my Wagon.
Trouble is I can't seem to get the old ones out (only actually tried the drivers side so far).
I've taken the boot to pieces to get at the 4 nuts. Are they the only things securing the clusters to the car? They won't budge!
Any suggestions??
Cheers

They are also seated om a non-setting mastic, which sticks like sh*t to a blanket![Big Grin](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
You need to pull and push really hard to get them off, then you'll need some new sealant to bed the new lights in.
The correct stuff is as I said, non-setting, and can be had from caravan dealers under the brand name Carafax.
DON'T be tempted to use silicone, or you REALLY won't get 'em out again...................![Frown](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/frown.gif)
