Hi I've noticed that when I jet wash the car water ingresses into the light unit that is built into each side of the boot lid.

It's got a green tint to it around the seal.

Question is can the unit be removed split open cleaned and resealed?

cheers

Thanks Steve - I think I can get to the green bits without removing the unit.

I'm a little worried though as when I worked my finger nail around the join it almost felt as if the external surface of the light would separate from that clipped to the car.

I didn't want to be stuck with a bit of plastic that wouldn't push back into place.

I was going to get the aftermarket LED replacement but looks like there are compatibility issues with them on a pre facelift car.

I'll have another look later in the week.

cheers
