If someones had them out before they may have used " a bonding " type of sealent ? Theyre tuff to pull out at the best of times....Have you removed all the nuts i reckon theres around 6

all removed 100% sure.... if there are really some sealent, how can i remove them ??

thanks

Try warming with a hair dryer, to soften the sealer

once u have taken the retaining nuts off get ur (or lasses (wifes) ) hair dryer out and from the inside of the boot area heat up the area area of the light cluster, ( the black back )up for a couple of minutes til its quite hot and then push the light cluster out from the inside , and then u will see the black sealant (like dumb dumb) stuff that holds them in, when u put the new ones in seal them up in the same place as the old ones with sika flex , tex flex etc, job done ,
