Trying to finish up the trunk lid so I can mark it off my list. I’m looking at the FFR light/plate mount and like everyone else, realize that there will not be enough room between the bottom of the light and the trunk handle. I have found some interesting posts on modifications that can be done to the light (turn the fixture 90 degrees and cut a slit in the lens - from Jeff I think) which will certainly do the trick. In looking at pics of other cars in general, it appears that many of them have no issue at all with the plate. There doesn’t appear to be any kind of modification to the light and plenty of space between the bottom edge of the plate (some even have nice plate frames) and the top of the trunk latch. Have there been changes in the trunk lid design from the MkI to the MkIV?
Are there other light assemblies available that don’t create this clearance issue? Just wanted to be aware of all of the options before I drilled holes in my trunk lid. I have no problem setting the FFR unit aside and purchasing a new one to avoid the clearance issue.
Many thanks,
Ron
