My T25 with rear sensors fitted by myself.

3 years so far and problems whatsoever.

Urgent help needed ...to get to the left side rear light and reversing wire..?how does the actual trim come off to access this please..

I am in the process of doing the job but come to a standstill and dont want to break anything...

Hi, done mine the other day - there is a 'flap' in the inside trim that just pulls forward to give access to the rear light cluster. The multi-plug can then be 'pulled' off (push the small metal side bar on the multi-plug then pull multi plug off). No need to remove the rear light cluster. The reversing light feed is the RED wire on the multi-plug and you need to 'tap/spllce' into this for your live from the reversing sensor unit (red), the black earth from the sensor unit can be earthed with the rear light cluster nut and bolt.

Hope this helps, Jerry

Thanks for this Jerry ,did manage to work it out in the end but i wish i was forearmed with this good info a little earlier,ended up taking trim off i had no need too ,also took me ages to figure out how to get the multi plug off,with mine it was a case of depressing a lug at the bottom of the plug and used a multimeter to find the reversing light wire.

Anyway i broke a bulb when i tried to remove the actual cluster again when there was no need to..ahh well we live and learn

I also have parking sensors with an LCD display that shows each sensor individually regarding the distance of an obstacle behind (with a color bar from blue to red in 5 scales) and it writes out the distance up to ~12 inches.

The LCD display helps a lot, you don't have to listen to the beeping sound only regarding the distance.

And of course since then I have a TNS Navigation with reverse camera, so no problems at all.

sorry to revive this thread, but someone asked the question "what is the connector behind the bumper (t27) for?", its a white bodied 5 or 6 pin plug (no protection!)

thanks in advance for any answers
