Ok, how on earth do I replace the rear indicator bulb on a 99 Chimaera? I can get to the light from the boot but do I pull the plastic off, screw it? Any ideas?

Assuming the rear light cluster is 4 individual round lamps, just unscrew the bulb housing from the inside of the boot

Simples!

Hi, thanks for the reply. I took a look and I couldn't see a way of unscrewing them. There are four 'screws' on each light but they appear to have no 'thread' (not sure of the correct term) for the screw driver to grip... Unless I'm not looking close enough, I'll check agin later but I did look into this...

The carpet's glued right up to them so it's not so easy to see. What you're looking for is akin to a jam jar lid. The only time I had to do one of mine, some of the carpet glue had properly fixed it in place! But it did come off. You need to disconnect the connector first too, to stop the wiring twisting up.

Aha, I know what you mean about the jam-jar lid, I did try to turn this but it seemed stuck in place... I'll try again later with a little more vigour! Thanks!
