Exclamation Rear Lights....Elp......

Okay...sould taking out a rear light be as simple as it looks??

You undo all the 8mm bolts from within the boot that hold on the light, and pop it out?

When looking at the rear of the light from outside the car, there is a little trim that goes just under the light...does this also need to come off for the light come out?

I have undone the bolts, however the light is not budging... seems there is black silicone holding this in..could this be the case...

the sealer's a nightmare with these lights, you could 'try' warming it with a hair dryer, that might soften it a bit, but they're normally very wel stuck, the small bit of painted trim comes off with the light!!

This sealer was put on by Subaru to try and stop the wave of poeple fitting 'chav' lights to the car.... don't fight it. Leave the lights as they are and bin the cheap **** ****e you've just bought

Might be a silly question, but you have undone all 5 bolts?
