Default replacing central high brake light bulb on 2005 Fiesta

Hi

Has anyone tried to do this? The manual says to remove grommits, use a flat head screwdriver to undo springs to remove the central high brake light but the for the life of me I can't see in the tiny whole to find out what to do. I've tried waving the screwdriver about in there but with no joy.

Any tips?

Thanks

I had to dow my left hand one on the old WP. Was a bit tricky doing it first time around as I was cautious not to break anything. You'll need a one of those special star face screw drivers. Inside you'll need a philips head IIRC. Undo the plastic surround that holds up the rear boot concealer thing (whatever you call this, it hides the contents of the boot). There is about three screws from memory. Undo this, and you'll have clean view to unclip the tail light. I hope his helps, I'm pretty sure this is how I did it?

Thanks Danny. I've changed the side ones a couple of times now. Although tricky it is do-able. It is the central high break light I need to change now - it seems impossible but if someone has done it before????
