Anyone got a diagram on how the rear / brake light bulbs come out?

The centre twists but doesn't pull out.

Is the rubber bit meant to come out?

It feels really weak so trying not to force it.

Ok worked it out.

The unit separates at te threaded bit thats jam jar size.

My carpet was glued to the section which retains the bulb so i had to pull the carpet back so i could then pull out the whole unit and then untwist out the car.

Bad news is all the bulbs test fine.

No volts on the wire tho. Fuses all check ok. Time to find a wiring diagram frown

Have you just got no brake lights? If so, the switch commonly fails. Easy enough but a fiddly little job to change
