Hi Guys, does anyone know how to remove the rear reversing light on a '90'? there are 2 black plastic covered things where you would expect to see screws. I've scraped the plastic off and there is no sign of a screw/nut underneath. Is it best just to lever the whole thing off and replace it - it's proving very tempting!!!!

Cheers

Thanks - I'll have a go at unscrewing them!
I seem to spend half my time drilling out snapped and rounded screws lol

I melted the plastic around the bolts as the nuts had seized big time. Then after pulling the casing off I ground the old bolts off and put a new light in. Worked a treat lol
