    It should be as easy as popping the access panel in the boot off (on the correct side), then twisting the bulb mounting? It should plop out...

    Mind you.. I've got mitts that fit in there!!

    are the rear bulbs not on a holder for all 3? you take out the holder by uncliping top and bottom of the holder and then you can get at the bulbs or has this changed with facelift R50/52/53 ?

    not looked at mine yet.. :o
