hi,

i've just replaced the burned number plate bulbs on my 156

the units were came off quite easy but after replacing the bulbs, i have no idea how to put the units back on, was following the user manual "firstly inserting the catches and then pressing in correspondence with the stopper" , but they still pop off after that:(

anyone got experiences of doing this? plz help!

cheers:(

number plate bulbs 156 year 2000 w

i had this problem last week after i replaced the bulbs and pushed unit back in it kept falling back out, problem i found was that when you remove the bulbs you bend the metal spring clip out of shape , i took mine back out and bent the clip back down ,you then push it to side with no clip first and apply slight pressure to the clip to make i snap in to place .if there isnt slight resistance you prob got the clip bent in wrong position , hope this helps
