if you look in trunk behind lights you should see some bung/cap type things just remove them to reveal your bulb holders biggrin.gif
Yep, remove 3 plastic caps, that reveals the 3 fixing nuts for the light cluster, you have to use a tube socket (10mm i think) - included in the tool kit. Then you can remove the cluster and change the bulb.

Thanks for all your help. I have now changed the bulb and all side and brake lights appear to be working. I still have a problem though in that after starting, as soon as I apply the footbrake the little orange car with tail lights on the top LHS of the instrument panel comes on. Any ideas?
