Rear number plate lights
Dear BX fans,
One of my number plate lamps has popped out as a lug has broken off. If anyone has one available, please let me know the price, including postage.
Please e-mail me on nwatson@kennedys.co.uk
Thank you
Best wishes from Neil

Sorry for the delayed response! Thank you for the e-mail. Yes, it's for a Hatchback - a 1989 BX 16 RE.

Hi,
I have repaired 3 of mine in the past, and they are still functioning.
Providing you still have the broken plastic retainer, all I did was this:
Stick some suitable thickness spingy foam under the retainer, then stick the other side of the foam to the body of the light.
As a precaution, use a cable tie from the rear of the light to the cable, this will hold it place even if the clip fails.
Good luck

I just cable tied mine around the wiper motor housing. Worked fine.
