nope no easier way, the whole cluster has too come off im affraid, but its not a hard job, take off the nuts and its done, dont go yamking it out though, the cable needs to be unplugged and there aint alot of play in the wires ;) ;)

Yep whole kit and caboodle comes out ..what a pain >:( and here is a diagram from eper which to be honest is quite disapointing as well :(

I found it a total piece of piss! All you need is a posidrive screwdriver and a 10mm (I think) deep socket. There's 3 nuts that have to be undone once you've undone the small screw under the rear parcel shelf support trim and pulled the carpet back. The bulb itself is easy enough to identify, it's the one under the yellow lens :P

as above really. i did mine and it took about 10-15 minutes

You can do it that way, but if it's the first time you've done it you're better off pulling the carpet back and having a good shufty in there lol, plus you don't wanna go dropping those nuts down either lol.

dont let your 10mm socket drop off the end of the ratchet either i done this and now when i go around corners it rolls about inside the quarter panel, does my head in. can get it out so thinking of filling my quarter panel full of expanding foam to cure it.

These are perfect for doing this job.and you dont loose the socket when you weld it to the screw driver..yep it was for that specific job and no other..you could call it a PNL rear cluster removing tool..
