    if its the hatchback youre trying to remove it from, if i remember correctly, there is a how2, but in summary, take out the lower tailgate trim, on the back of where the light goes there are some indentations, VERY carefully drill these out & you can then ease the light out from behind with a screwdriver or some other implement.

    dont hold me to the above, have a search for the how2 & follow the instructions there

    the spelling & punctuation thread is here for those that want to volunteer to check & correct any errors in posts.

    i never noticed it anyway, dont worry, your original post made sense

    You don't 'make' typos, you 'type' them. Sorry folks could not resist. I dread the day when my 3rd light goes AWOL. Good luck.

    Alternatively, cut an old credit card or bank card or similar into pieces and slot them in under the light and push the clips inside up with them. Done this loads of times now, as long as you push the metal clips up far enough (you can see them through the light), they will disengage, the fiddly bit is doing more than one at a time. Just be careful not to damage the rubber seal round the edge when you do it.
