Welcome, go to Halfrauds and pay them if it’s just the bulbs you mean ?

It's normally detailed in the owners manual.

There's no detail in the user manual. It looks like I need to remove a plastic casing which goes from one side of the boot to the other with numerous (approx 16) various fasteners. Seems very complicated for a simple bulb replacement.

Are you sure the felt doesn't just pull back at either end of this plastic ?

As said, nip to Halfords, they charge I think £10 - saves the hassle
