Hi All.

Our car's now a little over 3 years old and some of the LEDs have gone in the high level bake light. Having got some of the correct LEDs from the dealer, I've had a look in the handbook - and tried to follow its very vague instructions, but could not get the light cover to come off.

If you know what to unclip and how to get in there safely, please post it on here to let me (and others) know. Thank you very much.

If possible, photos would also be very useful. Thanks again.
 
Hi mate.

I replaced mine a month or so back after about 2 days of working out how to do it.

Take out the 2 black rubber covers on the inside.
Inside there is a silver metal rectangles. Look closely.

All you need to do is push them in (hard)
Best using a screw driver
and get someone else to get another screw driver under the light cover from the out side and pull it up and out. (put a towel or something against the body work so you dont scratch or dent)

just keep pulling and wiggiling and it will eventually come free.

Mine was very stiff and looked like it was going to snap but didnt.

Hope that helps.
