Alright lads, today I've got a little bit of a video where we've got a couple of parts
to be fitting, nothing major. I've just got the glove box interior light and the boot
interior light. I'm a bit ill, so I'm going to quickly start this up. Yeah, boot interior
light and I've also got the rear lights, the little grommets that hold the rear lights
in place. I'm going to see how they go because when I did the video about how to replace
the rear lights on these cars, I did mention that I didn't have any grommets and now I've
got some from eBay, I'm going to go ahead and fit them and hopefully, hopefully that
goes all good. So yeah, but first things first, I need some food. I'm not having any breakfast
so I'm going to go ahead and go to the shops, get some food and then go to somewhere where
we can do this video. So, here we go.
Okay lads, I'm just at the shop now. I'm going to go ahead and go and get some food and I'll
be back in two seconds. Okay lads, so I'm back. I'm going to go ahead and drive to a
car park and then everything that we have got to do today, we should have all the tools
inside the factory tool kit. So hopefully, we won't need anything else. So yeah, we'll
go ahead and drive to the car park now and I'll see you guys in a sec.
So, the first thing I'm going to go ahead and start with is the boot interior light.
Now obviously, I haven't got much tools. All I've got is on me at the minute is just the
tool kit which I'm hoping is all I'm going to need. So, I just need this flat head screwdriver
and then go ahead and use the flat heads on it and hopefully, she just pries off.
Yeah, perfect. I'll drop that down a bit and there we go. So, I'll go ahead and get you guys
mounted. Okay, so I'll go ahead and disconnect this. Hopefully, it won't be too hard to do.
There we go. Okay, so I've got it off. You guys can see that. Can you see that? Yeah.
So, I'll take this plastic bit off. There we go. So now, we've got the bulb. Now, I don't have LED
bulbs on me. What I've got is basically the same sort of bulb but in blue. You guys can see that
blue bulb? So, I'm hoping it does what the box says and it turns out to be a lot more brighter
than what they are here. I mean, I'm not really fast really. I mean, I've had a look around.
That's not really... No, I'm not really bothered about these LED lights on the boot and everything
because I don't really use the boot that often but if I can use these cheap bulbs in here and
they work fine and hopefully, we should be good. So, let's have a look. See what they look like.
Is that just it not working or is it... Is it... Does the boot have to be reopened?
Hang on. Let me reopen the boot. You guys will be in the boot. So, good luck.
Ah, there we go. So, right. That doesn't really look any different. That's it.
Wow. That looks a bit **** to be honest. So, if I cut this case back on and put this back inside,
does that look any different? No, it looks exactly the same. Alright, forget that. That's fine.
I'll just leave that in there. That's fine. I'm not really worried about that.
What I can do today is change these grommets that are behind these lights. I'll take this
light off and I'll show you guys what I mean. So, I'll be back in a second.
Okay, lads. So, basically, it's where these two holes are. Factory, these have two little grommets
on which hold the rear lights still. Now, in the past, I've had these and when I put the light on,
they've actually just fallen inside the car. Now, I don't know whether they're actually still
inside the frame or whatever or underneath the bumper but or they might have just fallen out
the car on the floor. So, hopefully, this won't happen this time. I've got two new ones. I got
two. I don't know if I'm missing any on the other side. So, I'll definitely replace these two,
take the other light off, see if I'm missing any. That way, I know if I need to order any more.
This one's not a grommet. That's where the bolt goes to hold the light in. So, yeah, these are my
new grommets here. As you can see, it's just basically like a little rubber filler and then
that go in like that and then on the lights, they are little. It's got some little nipples there.
So, yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and put these in now and I'll get back to you guys. Alright, guys,
I just wanted to show you this. I've put one in so far but I just wanted to show you how hard
they actually are to get in. You've actually gotta put some force on these to get them in
but they do go in and they will go in and hopefully, when they do, it will be sweet
but that looks so much better now. So, hopefully, that'll fix my issue and then I'm gonna go ahead
and take this one off and see if I'm missing any on this side. Okay, so I've got the bottom one in
and the top one. I'm gonna go ahead now and reconnect the light and hopefully, this will
fit a lot better. So, let's go ahead and start fitting these in. Okay, so I've got this rear
light in now. It seems to be a lot more stable. It doesn't rattle around or anything anymore
because you used to be able to move this bit up and down because obviously, there's only
one screw on this side but yeah, this seems pretty solid now. Now, I'm gonna go ahead and
take this one off and obviously, yeah, see how much movement there is at the bottom there
but I'm gonna go ahead and take this one off and see. Alright, lads, so I've taken this one off
and it's exactly the same on this side. I'm missing both of the grommets so I'm gonna have to go ahead
and order two more. I mean, they are actually like, they're not, I wouldn't say they're expensive but
for what they are, they are quite expensive. I think that's £6 per one. So, yeah, I'm gonna
go ahead and order another two of them but yeah, I mean, I don't think these were gone
just because of me. I think I might have put these side, two of them gone in but I don't think I did
these two. I think one of the owners before me that owned this car before me had done this
but yeah, that's fine. At least, I know now I'll go ahead and put this light back on
and I'm gonna have to go ahead and order some new grommets for this side. Alright, lads,
I've got this light back on now. I'm gonna go ahead and order those things when I get home
but obviously now we've got the one done so it's not too bad. So, yeah, if you guys enjoyed this
video, make sure to subscribe, like and comment. I've got some brakes on the way down for this
so yeah, that video will be coming out soon and little niggly bits I've got to do to this car.
So yeah, I hope you guys enjoyed this video and I'll see you guys in the next one.
