Yes... well despite what I said earlier... The holes are way to big for the OE lamps, so stuck what to do now!
One of the "cobbled together units" is totally fried, even replacing the bulb (which took 30 mins to do) didn't get it to light up again!
Now as this is an MOT failure I guess I have five options...
1. Find some replacement fixings of the same size as these duff ones
2. Make up some sort of bracket to hold the OE lights in place (although no idea how to do that, I don't have a 3D printer or manufacturing equipment)
3. Replace the whole bumper - Guessing this would be very expensive!!
4. Use some MK1 fittings and self tappers to fix it to the bumper (fine for short term but will destroy the bumper further and be a pain to change bulbs in future)
5. Hand the car to a body shop and get them to fix the OE units in place
So, unless someone has a MK2 Rear bumper in Black locally going for cheap.... I will have to give this some thought!
