    Hi all

    Need to replace nearside brake light on Son's T Plate focus estate

    Had a quick look tonight have found 2 screws on the outside removed
    them but lighting cluster still seemed fixed

    Can't see any easy access from the inside, have looked inside the
    panel and can see the back of the bulb holder but can't get at it

    What am I missing apart from the owners manual?

    with the screws out you just pull backwards. there are two 'push in' lugs that are holding it. On re-install I put some grease on them so that next time it is easier.

    Likely scrapped by now - some 14 years later?
