This will allow you to pull the carper out of the way, which in turn allows you to see the back of the tail light. theres two nuts, undo these and the rear connection and the whole unit just pulls off. This will allow acces to the rear bulb.


make sense?

Except that my car hasn't got the removable trim as shown in the manual.

However, I unclipped the bit around the opening (I was hesitant about that bit because I've broken too many things in the past by assume that there were clips where there weren't) and have seen enough to feel confident about changing the bulbs if I have to. Perhaps I'll take the cluster off when it stops raining.

Thank you all for your help.

I don't propose taking a spare Xenon bulb with me, but I was glad to see that there is a switch to change the dip direction so I won't have to worry about headlamp convertors.
