    Release the clip at the right-hand side of each light with a large flat-bladed screwdriver. It can take quite a bit of effort because it's a big clip but it's only plastic, so don't over do it.

    The whole light unit then comes out on a short cable. Twist the wiring plug to release the bulb which comes out of the unit on the end of the cable. Replace the bulb and check it works, then refitting is the reversal of removal.

    I think you just lever the light unit out of the bumper. There is a slot there for the tip of a screwdriver





    Too late

    But they will still flicker for a little while when you turn them off.
