Access to brake light

[TuxRacer]

Which screws / panels do I need to remove to get access to the passenger side brake light bulb?

I've started undoing everything but at this rate I'm going to have a bunch of parts, no car and still won't have found the bulb!

ETA: It's a 2007 Focus ST, I assume the rear light cluster is the same as any 2005 onwards Focus.

Open hatch and undo screws/bolts holding in cluster unit, pull cluster outward which gives you acess to the bulbs.

Thanks both - it seems like I'd done the right thing, just not pulled the cluster hard enough, I'll try it again today and be less of a girl with it!

So, I got access and changed the bulb (thanks). But have a slight problem.

With my lights on the bulb I didn't change comes on at a low brightness level and when the brake is pressed gets much brighter.

The bulb I replaced is at the same very bright level when the brake pad is pressed, but is at the same very bright level when the brake pad isn't pressed and the lights are on.

What could be the cause of that?!

So... it turns out I put the bulb in the wrong way round and it just needed rotating 180 degrees...

50/50 and I would get it wrong! All sorted now.
