Presumably the three plastic clips are slid into the slots in the bumper and then the spike on the back of the lamp push in, yes?

So what do you do if the spikes are rusted into the clips and the clips are already broken?

i had this happen to me, i had to force them out, maybe wd40 and tap metal spikes with a hammer. there should be a little bit poking through the plastic.

Yup now got them off but I really need new clips, just whacked an email off to Mangoletsi but I suspect they are nla.

I'm tempted to cut the spikes off, drill them out and then insert some studding and use nuts and washers to retain them.

Probably very wise move, Jeremy.
