A good shove from the inside should do it, there ain't nowt else holds them in but muck!!:p

Julz is right - dont be scared of it - they will just pop out with a shove

Thanks guys, i cant try it just now cause its raining but i will give it a go when it stops! Its quite sturdy though, i just know im going to snap something! :)

there is nothing to snap, just push it in.

There's a couple of spring clips to push back as well as the nut on the screwed rod, my originals when I took them out had gasket tape round the edge of the moulding (as well as the gasket on the back), if you're careful you can re-use this on the new ones, I found out I needed to do this to seal it properly. You can easily check the water seal once you're done by carefully pouring a kettle of water round the edges. Hope this helps. :D

Finally! They're on. Did you guys clip the new lights on or did you just use the bolt thing?
