depends on what vehicle saloon or estate.

i know the estate way

open boot
gain access to bulb carrier squeeze in the tabs and remove
undo 4 10mm nuts and out it falls

if you look at it its pretty simple, three nuts hold it onto the bodywork

Again see the handbook on how toremove the bulbs and the nuts holding the light clusters in can be seen .. really easy

Hi,
thanks for that - no problem removing the corner light cluster but the bonnet light cluster is proving a bit more reluctant. Seems there's some sort of fixing behind the locking mechanism, you can see it below one of nut spindles. Bl**dy difficult to get to - any ideas?

5 nuts hold it on.

That's just a plastic locating peg, probably just the rubber seals sticking.

Cheers Dave,
I was hoping someone confirmed that - didn't want to tug too hard & break it in 2.
