Looking for some advice we recently picked our XE R Sport 2.5T it's a 2017 model, promptly broke the rear passenger light lense, so I picked up a replacement on eBay with the same part number, but it had no bulb space for the indicator there are only 3 slots on the new one as opposed to 4 on the current broken lense
Have I got a wrong part as apart from the no indicator bulb slot it's identical
Obviously a design change as there are more wires on the plug. Does the blanking on the other one screw out? It looks like it is screwed in and the old lamp fitting may just plug into the space. You will have to put more wiring in there then, I think.
Presuming the bottom picture is the current broken one..... There are only 6 wires in the picture. 2 wires going to three connectors. The 4th connector has no wires going into it and the picture says "not used" next it to.
I would therefore guess from the pictures that the 4th connection is not used hence why on the replacement it has no black connector anyway.
SAE is not used if a USA version imho. I have a UK spec one and it has an amber bulb as normal although the slot says "SAE not used" & "ECE WY16W" which makes sense. No amber bulb fitted is a USA spec with amber bulb is ECE Europe spec.
Who did you buy it from? It would be strange to sell USA parts in the UK?? Have you tried it on the car?
fits perfectly on the car bought from a UK seller on ebay in perivale West London will go back to them and query, my other option is undo the torx screws and try to swop the lens over as they look the same as well?
just looked at that and its not actually a blanking plug its moulded so there is no way to fit the existing bulb, there is no hole to put it in, will either try to undo the torx screws and replace the lens or i might return it and get another one, this time i will ask for a picture of the back as well !
when i connected it nothing happened when using the indicator but all the other lights worked, no reply from the vendor yet
the torx screws are called tamper proof you need a 5 pointed bit to remove them but i am not sure if those will allow just the lens to be removed, this would be the fastest solution as the light was £110 so far cheaper than sourcing a new one
Now I have got a replacement from the seller with the right number of bulbs, he said the one I had with 3 bulbs was a Euro spec one not UK not sure I buy that to be fair but I have the right one now and it works perfectly
