Without seeing it at a guess I would say unless there are screws visible on either the face or underside of the light then it must just clip in and will need to be gently pried out to get to the bulb.

Open the tailgate, and there are two rubber grommets directly behind where the centre brake light is.

You need to remove those, and release the two catches accessible through the holes to release the light unit from the tailgate.

Howdy. Forum noob, so please forgive the bump.

I have the same issue on the 2007 model. I've taken out the rubber grommets and I can see and release the clips, but the light still stays in place. It's almost as if there is some adhesive in the centre and it won't undo. I'm also wary of the fact that the hose for the rear wiper water jet goes through that plastic light housing so I don't want to force it too hard.

Any other hints for this particular model ? Any advice really appreciated. Thanks.
