Storm damage

[paulus]

Got up Friday morning to suspect that a small piece of masonry had been detached from the garage roof and fallen onto my MG4 Trophy - breaking the plastic cover on the nearside rear lights. I was less bothered about the small dent which may have been the result of out bin flying into it, since the paint is not broken and I looked into just replacing the broken plastic cover. To my horror I discovered today that I cannot replace the cover, since only the full light assembly is available at a cost of £312. Since the MG4 is a newish model I guess I have no alternative - unless someone knows differently.

Has anyone any experience to advise how difficult fitting a replacement might be?

Thanks.

If you'd consider a used light, there's a few on eBay for under £200.
just a thought...

* Edit* Just had a closer look and it has a few scratches on it, so probably not so good.

Maybe this is what you need... Be prepared to wait a little bit for it (as it comes all the way from China)...

Reviews on the AliExpress ones are not brilliant. May opt for used one from ebay. Just need to discover how to remove/replace.

TBH I would expect them to be SAIC OE fitting.

Fitting a replacement is easy. Two bolts and a wiring plug. See this thread about replacing the reversing lights with LEDs

Led rear indicator and reverse lamps

I've just fitted led reverse lamps and indicators 10 minutes a side each and a huge difference over the stock lamps . ive always hated the yellow look of the reverse lamps and light output is non exsistent. Stock indicators arent very bright either and the new ones twice the light output. I...

Check with your dealer's parts department on how much a replacement will cost to give you some idea if used ones are a good deal.

Just as likely to be ‘seconds’ off the production line. OK if you know what the problem is and are prepared to accept that, but doubt if you’ll get that info!
