General Replacing rear fog lamp in auto trail scout 2007

[Pmm]

Hi, can anyone out there help me in replacing a lamp in the rear fog light of my 2007 auto trail scout motorhome. I have opened up the rear central panel and can see and just reach the lamp itself. I can twist and try to remove lamp but there is a board immediately behind lamp that doesn't allow it to be removed. The external light cover seems to be glued to the body so only way is like a headlight bulb and take it out from inside. All but damaging the light cover I can't see how I do it,

Thanks

Peter

For the benefit of others, as I have already responded to Peter on MHF, the AutoTrail fix is not so simple. Sorry restricted from posting a url link, copied text below.

"It's a Wella fog lamp unit fitted from the rear of the bumper/skirt, there is no room to get a hand in and withdraw the bulb, a really poor design by Auto Trail.

I had to remove a Philips screw from a bracket ajacant to the rear steady leg, drill out two pop rivets securing the rear and side skirts to allow the rear bumper/skirt to be eased back enough to allow my hand to get to the back of the lamp unit to get a quarter turn on it to release to bulb holder.

Transpired the bulb was fine but one of the spade connecters was badly corroded, have had to order a new unit but will only use the connector as to fit the new unit would mean removing the whole rear bumper/skirt."
