I noticed both of them had gone last week so went to replace them on Sunday.

Of the four screws holding the light covers in place, three have corroded to buggery. I managed to get one of them out by clamping some pliers onto it and turning it slowly. Looks like the others will have to be drilled out. Grrr! [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Great choice of screw there Mr Subaru!

Exactly the same last weekend !
Both bulbs blown.
2 screws were buggered so had to drill em out.
Very poor design !

I agree about the **** design.
My screws are also rusted after 1 year !
Power connector is also VERY temperamental

Found some zinc coated screws to replace the suckers with once I get the rusty ones out.

It's not just me that finds it obvious that the back of the car will get soaked then.

I thought about covering the head of the new screws I used in Vasoline - to keep out the wet & therefore possibly the rust - would that stop them rusting ?

Noticed my two bulbs were out yesterday,thinking ,no problem grab a phillips screwdriver and change the bulbs in 5 mins,WRONG!!!.

Now planning on getting the drill out today.

Worrying to think that the same people that came up with an awesome handling car with loads of power used these sh*tty screws to affix the lamp holders.(not to mention the very useful clock brightness button).

Anyway enough rambling ,wheres that drill?
