Default Light Questions?

Hi, I have a AUII XR8 Rebel. I have 2 questions that I have been unable to find answers to via the search function!

1: How do the rear interior lights come out. I need to remove it to fix/replace as the inbuilt switch will not stay on?

2:The side indicators on the front guards are amber. I want to change them to clear. What can I replace them with?

The rear interior light will come out with a blade screw driver gently wedged in between the the front edge, opposite side to the switch, of the clear lense and the grey outer frame. The grey outer frame will stay attached to your roof lining and the clear lense, switch, globe holder and globe will then come out in one piece.

Side indicators on front guard - grab hold of the indicator and slide it towards the front of the car. Should move about 1 - 1.5cm, then pull the back part, of the indicator, out away from the guard. Then should all come out in one piece
If you are going to replace with clear side indicators, remember to replace the clear globes with amber ones.

Series III were fitted with the clear repeaters.
Your local ford dealer will have them or you can find them listed on e-bay.
