182 rear indicator bulb replacement

[Bear Head]

How do i change the rear indicator bulbs?

Do I have to remove the torx screws holding the plastic panel in place and then unscrew the screw on the headlight and then remove the carpet?

 

[fangled]

Just unscrew the rear cluster and pop the light module out the back for bulb access

So do I just unscrew that black toggle thing then is that all I need to do? Then just pull the carpet back?

No undo the black plastic screw, pull the light off the rear of the car, unclip the bulb holder (about 6 finger clips) and then reverse to fit.
Make sure the lugs on the light are located upon re-fitting.

Right got the light out no problems.

How do I get the white thing with the wires off the back of the bulb?

There are about 6 clips holding it on around the edge. Bit fiddly and hard to undo but it will come off

Unplug the cluster and do it indoors - Warm and light

Well I'd try that but how do you get the black loom out the back?

 

[fangled]

It's a plug. There's a tab at the bottom of the plug which you can depress with your thumb. You need to wiggle the plug out as its a tight fit.
