how they hell do i get the last bolt out of the rear lights, the bolt is if u were facing the lights on drivers side the bottom left i cant seem to get into it cause of the bloody plastic bit!

is there a special tool i need to use or do i need to take off the plastic pic?

cheers

i used a rachet ring spanner on mine, well hard to get out unless u have the correct stuff, u may find it easyer to take the trim panel out!

Once you've done them a couple of times, you learn what tools work best.

I used a small 90 degree socket extension with a socket on the end and did them all manually.

takes like 1 minute to undo each light, use a long extension on a socket with one of those double jointed bits, piece of piss.
