Simple non technical here goes open rear door, remove top centre trim, push in either side of light, with third hand hold bulb holder change bulb reassemble job done.

BTW there is a foam seal which can perish this keeps moisture out of car I would replace this to be on the safe side.

Note as well that there are lugs each end of the centre trim that engage with the trim panels on either side. I thought the panel was a straight pull off push on fit to my cost!

Hi
I have removed the inside centre panel and there is no way of getting to the bulb ?
I think there must be a way of removing the red cover at the top of the tailgate?
????

Two catches either side inside the two holes either side of housing. Just put your fingers in and release them. The outside cover then releases and you can then change the bulb.

Obviously aimed at me.

RTFM is usually the first port of call, if you find the info isn't in there then by all means ask a question.

One thing that really gets up my nose and no doubt a few others is that people prefer to ask a question on a forum and expect others to find the answer for them because they can't/won't read the manual Rolling Eyes

It's a forum, if someone asks something I try to help regardless of if it's in the manual or not. Thumbs Up (fellow train driver too!)
