I need to pull off the damaged tail light and replace it.

I did do a search, but I havent managed to find anything *yet* if anyone does have a link feel free to point me towards it (please)

Cheers

Someones already mentioned it.

Start by disconnecting the battery. Next, there are clips around the boot carpet liner and maybe some plastic trim. Just unclip them and move these items out of the way. You will then see around 4 nuts with excess thread that hold the light assembly in. Undo the nuts.

Disconnect bulb harness cables. Gently push the light assembly outwards whilst supporting on the outside (aka dont drop it). There is rubber/foam seal around the edges which will slowly peal off, so be careful not to tear it.

Viola!! Done. Installing is reverse order of above instructions.

Note: When tightening the nuts at re-install, tighten each nut progressively as it will take a while to 'seat' in. Do not overtighten!!

Edit: woops op was years ago!! Well i typed this so it's for future reference anyway :s
