Hi all, I've got a set of facelift rear lights en route as most of mine are cracked so it's the ideal time to swap them. Does anyone have a wiring diagram / guide to the easiest way to swap over or do I need to get the circuit diagrams out.TIA

You have to replace the bumper lamps too in that case and reroute the circuits between indicators and reverse lights cos facelift has the indicators in the tail lamp and reverse in bumper

I have left the original lamps in the body and put the slightly later bumper with lights on the back,
Then it’s straightforward to continue from your existing wiring down to the bumper,
This will give you a double up on brake and indicator and with the right bulb holder extra side lights,

If in doubt, get hold of a bit of trailer cable and use what you need from it!
