Now for the fun bit. The lights use some sort of "never go off" bonding agent that makes it a pig to get the lights out. I used a wooden ruler to help prize the lights out aided with moderate pressure form the inside of the boot. Be careful as they are easy to break.
No pics though.

2 nuts???? I think it's more like 5 per side.
The best thing to do is heat the area where the light is sealed with a hair dryer. Do this for a good 5 minutes and the light should slide out easily.

Yeah, it's 5 or 6 per side, and the "heating it first" will be needed in this weather.
You might need some more non-setting goo too: car paint suppliers or caravan dealers will sell it.
DON'T use silicone if you think you might ever need 'em out again.

A phone call to a caravan dealer would set you right, they'd post it too. Mine needed one of those mastic guns for delivery. Try www.yell.com
