    Guys an NCT tomorrow for this car, done a few bits but one of the back bulbs needs replacing, it seems the only way it to take off the entire light panel, does anyone know of an easier way?

    The panel the bulbs sit in is usually easily removable from inside the boot.

    yeah was my first port of call but it seems very integrated into the car if you know what I mean, I'll have another poke around later on and see what i can do

    It might be hidden behind carpet or something. Do you have the car's handbook? It'll show you how. Otherwise, i'd google it.

    On an old 99 Corsa I had there was a panel in the boot alright and the bulbs were very easily replaceable :) I think the model was upgraded in 01 though (?) so it's likely that yours is different but the wasy it was on the old model, it wasn't broke so I hope they didn't try to fix it :D

    When you open the boot you will see 2 black philips screws on the lamps. You take these out and the whole lamp lifts out. Disconnect the block connector on it. Next there are 4 silver philips screws holding the bulb holder in place. When you have these out there is a small tab at the top that u just press down and it will come apart.
