Default How to change sidelights in a MY99?

I've got a blow sidelight in my MY99 Impreza, but for the life of me I can't work out how to change it! In most cars I've had it's been a simple twist connecter in the engine bay, but in the Impreza the rear of the side light decends into the side panel body work . It's got to be simpler than this I think...anyone know?

Hi, Theres one screw on the top of the light close to the main headlights. Undo it. Pull side light forward. The end.

once the screw is undone, the light unit may still be tight, and will need a bit of persuading, just give it a tug, and it will come out

Its easy to do but watch your fingers when you give it a pull though, i sliced mine on the wing, and it bloody hurt

Put grease on the ball behind the sidelight while you have it out and it'll be much easier to get out of its socket next time
