04 Fiesta Rear Light Cluster Removal-Help

Craggy Island

I need to replace the brake light bulbs on a 04 fiesta. On the left side unit I opened off the top and bottom screws and the unit comes out in a rearwards direction easily at the top, but there's something holding it in at the bottom. I'm not mechanically disabled but I don't want to chance breaking it by forcing it.
Does anyone know how to remove it. Not sure if I need to do any ripping inside the boot.
Thanks in advance,
CI.

Open tailgate, remove 2 Phillips screws, look inside, at the back of the light at midway position you will see a black plastic moulded type nut, unscrew by hand and pull light unit out, remove cable by pressing side of connector, pull back 6 clips [gently] on back of unit and remove light cluster from unit, replace bulb, and replace in reverse order.

The later Fiestas have a cheaper fitting for the rear light clusters - two Torx-head screws on the tailgate side, and two plastic lugs on the outside. Remove the two Torx screws, then grip the light cluster firmly and give a straight tug to pull out the plastic lugs. Use T25 Torx bit - nearly all the small screws on Fords are T25.

Thanks Orvee, I didn't see that plastic nut on an earlier look in. Came out perfect after that. Bulb changed. Job done. It was the unit that you described in your first paragraph.
Its surprising all car makers don't have to put a dash warning light for when an important bulb blows, like lights or break lights.( although they might blow too:rolleyes:):rolleyes:
Thanks again:)
