Easy.
pull the carpet flap back .. undo 2 black plastic bolts (13mm socket off the top of my head) and then undo the clip in plug
for the inner ones (on the tail gate) there is a plastic flap that comes off the inside of the tailgate lining.

Pull back cloth boot trim behind light
Un plug
Un-do to 2 hex nuts top and bottom
Remove light
Same process really with the boot lid lights
Just abit tight in there, take care not to drop hex nuts
Very easy TBH

Re: Removing rear light cluster - Wiring to reverse light

I'm going to install some parking sensors, so will need to take the power from the reverse light feed.
I don't suppose anyone can help with the wire colour for the reverse light? I could solder a wire directly onto the back of the bulb holder as a last resort. but would rather use the wire.
Thanks

Reverse light is in the tailgate part of the light (N/S)- on plastic hatch cover you'll see a half circle (i think) piece, pull this off and you'll see the rev light bulb holder

Looks like I'd have to route a wire from here to the sensors, looks like a pain in the backside!
