Can This Bulb Be Changed Easily?

Hi folks, just a quick one about my wife's 61 plate CT200h we just got. I have noticed one of the rear number plate lights doesn't work. She popped in to Halfords and they told her only Lexus can do it as it involves taking panels off etc and it is quite involved so they do not do it.

Just checking that their advice is correct. Going to Lexus for such a trivial thing does seem a little daft especially when the bulbs are only around £2.

[200h]

no that is incorrect

open the tailgate and on the inside there are some covers remove the inner two

you can then see the plug rotate it and the wiring and bulb holder will come out together,

its a little awkward but it can be done in 5 minutes a side,its just the standard wedge 5w bulb.
