When any of the rear light bulbs go, dont go to your dealer to get them replaced, go to your nearest motorist discount shop and purchase the bulbs, go home and using a 10mm socket undo the two bolts securing the rear cluster in (down the side of the rubber in the black plastic part of light) remove bolts completely, the go to the top of the light unit and the is a black plastic cover on the inside near the open tailgate, remove this ( it enables easier movement of cluster).
Push the reflector( the one on the roof) back toward you which should release it from the whole cluster and the roof.
Push gently downward on the lighting cluster and whilst you are doing this pull the clster back toward you , if you dont push floor ward it wont release from its pins.
Once you've done this make sure youre holding on to the cluster so it doesnt damage.
Find the appropiate bulb out replace. fit the bulb holder back in the cluster unit, Replace the reflector first on the roof, you'll see how it attaches if its up turned, then replace the cluster gently by marrying up to the reflector on the roof and pushing it home in to the holes for the pins, hey prestor fixed, in at most half an hour and costing only the price of the bulbs, as apposed to the dealer price of anything from £20 upwards. mike
