Hey! I have a 2012 justa with the reverse lights in the rear bumper (along with the non functional rear fog lamp) and I noticed today that the whole light assembly wiggles back and forth inside the bumper. Is that normal? I will shoot a video when I get off work. Also...I couldn't find any info on how to remove the assembly to get to the bulbs. The manual is kind of vague on it. And lastly, if I put led bulbs into the reverse lights, will it trigger the burnt bulb warning?

Cheers!

 

Reverse lights use a set of 194 wedge LEDs. You'll need to make sure they are canbus units to not trigger codes.

Thank you! The bulbs for s and non s are the same I assume?

Here is the video of wiggling. It doesnt bother me too much, but it does seem like something is broken in there.

 

Yeah, same 194 wedge bulb according to my specs.

 

Looks to me like the mounting tabs that hold the light assembly to the bumper cover are broken, or not properly latched in. They simply push onto plastic tangs on the bumper cover with little locking tabs that are part of the tangs. Get up under there and have a look. It should be relatively easy to see what is going on once you are there.

 

I see, thanks. I will put the rear on ramps maybe tomorrow evening when it cools down (not too excited to lay on the hot ground...we are having 100 degrees routinely this week)

I really don't wanna buy a new bumper cover just because of that, so if I can't fix it with stuff I can buy from home depot, I will let it be.

I wonder if it would be possible to retrofit taillights from an older car, with the reverse lights in them...

 

Ok, turns out that my car actually has a tow hitch behind this light and the top tabs have been cut off from the inside of the bumper cover. I guess I need to find something to tow then....meanwhile, I think I'm gonna get the led bulbs and ziptie the light in place.

 

Could probably just spot double sided tape around the bezel. Zip tie might not get it tight enough where it doesn't rattle.
