Hi everybody,

Does anyone know how I can replace the bulbs? IE. How do I get to them in the first place?

I believe you should push down the shelf in front of the brake light cover, and pulling the brake light slightly up and forward. It should unhook like that.

Yeah, it was actually easy-ish to come out..... But, seeing the novice i am, I couldn't get it to snap back in :-D

I'm in Jamaica by the way, so I don't know if my price would help you.

if it is the IS200, I did mine yesterday.
Push down on the parcel shelf direcly behing the Stop Lamp.
At the same time place a flat screwdrive gently under the lamp and
pull backwads and up away from the window.

Disconnect the wiring loom plug, then twist the lamp holder (like a light bulb fitting)
and replace the faulty bulb. Twist the bulb holdr back into place, then reconnect the
wiring loom connector. The Stop lamp should now be checked to see that it is working
correcly before you push it back into the original position on the shelf.

Bulb was about £2.99 at Halfords.
