Anyone changed a rear light bulb?

OK never changed a rear light bulb, but just a thought.. If you can't access it from the boot, then I wouldn't be surprised if it was similar to my A6, which is described in its manual, albeit not very well. - There is a securing bolt on the inside, which you remove. - Then loosen then cluster by agitating it (pushing it and puling it away from the car with your hands) - Then prise out the light cluster from outside by inserting a credit card between the light cluster and rear wing. I used a credit card to do this and sure enough it just pops out. Using anything else can cause scratches or damage to the light cluster However, before you try this PLEASE PLEASE get a second opinion Charanpal
 
Bit fiddly but can be done. Remove plastic cover and you will see light cluster. Coming through in middle of cluster is a 'prong' which needs a simple unclip and then cluster should be removable. There is a slight skill where you need to angle it so that either top / bottom or 'out' side (sorry, can't remember which!) comes out first - it's definitely not the 'in'side. Putting it back is just same but in reverse. Once you've done it a few times it does get a bit easier. The manual has a section on how to remove the cluster.
