Allan you should post a video on YouTube showing how to dismount the rear lights housing. I gave up after a first attempt, fearing to damage the housing
This the method as posted in the 'Stop Light' thread.
Access is exactly the same except you change the Amber bulb:
As promised here are some 'help you' photos for changing the rear lights:

<div style=": rgb251, 251, 253;">First open the small access cover on the side of the boot interior. This will reveal a small 3 cornered retaining nut that you unscrew. BE CAREFUL that you don't let it slip from your fingers!!
<div style=": rgb251, 251, 253;">
<div style=": rgb251, 251, 253;">
<div style=": rgb251, 251, 253;">
<div style=": rgb251, 251, 253;">Next push gently on the retaining bolt you removed the nut from and the rear housing pulls away a little from the body.

<div style=": rgb251, 251, 253;">
<div style=": rgb251, 251, 253;">It only pulls away a little and you need to press the small clip on the side of the power plug. This will allow the plug to come out and free the housing. NB: In the handbook it shows removing the plug prior to sliding off the lens housing. I found it easier to do it as above.

<div style=": rgb251, 251, 253;">UPDATE: Just to the left of my pointer tip there is a very small button. I found it very easy to press this and release the plug prior to freeing the lens housing.
<div style=": rgb251, 251, 253;">
<div style=": rgb251, 251, 253;">
<div style=": rgb251, 251, 253;">
<div style=": rgb251, 251, 253;">Remove the foam cover.
<div style=": rgb251, 251, 253;">
<div style=": rgb251, 251, 253;">
<div style=": rgb251, 251, 253;">
<div style=": rgb251, 251, 253;">Release the side clips (easy to use your fingers). There are just 2 clips (opposite each other).
<div style=": rgb251, 251, 253;">
<div style=": rgb251, 251, 253;">
<div style=": rgb251, 251, 253;">
<div style=": rgb251, 251, 253;">Tease off the centre plate (you may need to gently prise one side as you pull).
<div style=": rgb251, 251, 253;">
<div style=": rgb251, 251, 253;">
<div style=": rgb251, 251, 253;">
<div style=": rgb251, 251, 253;">Remove the bulb and replace with the new LED.
<div style=": rgb251, 251, 253;">
<div style=": rgb251, 251, 253;">
<div style=": rgb251, 251, 253;">Then it's just a simple job to replace everything.
<div style=": rgb251, 251, 253;">
<div style=": rgb251, 251, 253;">Al.
