mk1 cortina rear lights

[cjpcarpentry]

alright guys started the strip down tonight ready for the new paint and all is good how ever i took of the three nuts off that hold the rear light in place but was wondering how to remove the wireing do i need to strip the unit as the retaining screw is rusted through thanks chris

there is bullet conecters on the rear wireing then after you have removed the 3 nuts and star washers it should come off but mind the sealing gromett(between the lamp unit and the body) may be stuck (mine was )

 

but dont worry if it rips the Mk1 owners club sells then cheep

the conections are a few inches into the loom on both sides of the car, my pre-air flow is the same as the air-flow i had , they join in the same place
