Can anyone help me with instruction on how to change my stoplight bulbs?
Looking thru the panels in the boot it doesn't seem easily accessible.
Are there any online guides ?
Or can someone advise in detail the procedure?
Thanks

You will need a ratchet to start with ................the nuts are 10mm I think.
Open the boot on either side there are 2 slaps open these and the light cluster is held on by 3 nuts unscrew these and the whole light unit slides out but remember to unplug the socket before you pull the entire unit out.
Unclip the light board replace blown bulb, clip it back and slide and plug unit in Jobs done.

its 3 x 10mm nuts hold in the taillight there is a flap on each side of your boot you open it, and put in a long reach socket and extension and unscren each of the 3 nuts off the threaded bars holdin th tail lights in and voila your taillight comes out. then you unclip the back of the tailght and change the bulb and repeat the process in reverse to get them back in. its a fiddly job, word of warning dont drop the nuts.
DAMNIT! steve got there first.
