The basics of accessing the bulb in a Hatch mounted Panda lamp
Turn on lights to see which need attention
Use a flat blade screwdriver inserted into the small slot on one end of the Clear Plastic Lens
Tricky bit..
On mine the Slot is opposite the spring
But Adjacent to the plastic clip
So - use the screwdriver to move the lens Across, then Out
Once that is lifted,
the Festoon style bulb should be clearly visible
I find these give poor contact, and a twist of the bulb will light it again
The slamming of tailgate seems to upset the bulbs
I originally posted some of these pics in Lock down 2020
I am revisiting again 5 years later
Reasonably reliable
