Hi mate....I wondered too if the red insert could be removed ,and even though the red insert is a separate item the two halves of the light cluster cannot be separated.
If you are trying to do this to rid yourself of the odd looking rear fog light your best option is to buy a new rear light cluster with a clear lens.i got mine from www.japanparts.com.don't forget you'll have to buy a red bulb to compensate for loosing the red lens.

Thanks for the reply, much appreciated.
I will get one at japanparts then, or will try to find cluster in the UK first, since my car is LHD and would need left clear cluster, which you guys already have.

Sorry man didn't realise you had left hand drive though I would have assumed that the rear fog light would have been the same side regardless of left or right hand drive.

Thread revival:
Is this part easy to swap out, i.e. does it unscrew or do you need to do the oven trick to weaken the mastic.
Seems by the illustration in the below link that its just nuts and bolts.

It is very easy to replace whole lamp. As you already recognized, there are only 3 bolts and a bulb connector to unplug. No oven/eating needed.
Most crappy part is to remove trunk door inner lining, be careful not to break plastic rivets.

The above is to remove the whole unit, but to use this part below it would seem I need to separate the lens from the unit?

Part on your picture is a complete lens AND body (see title). Installation is straightforward.
However on your picture it looks like this is only a lens, but it is not. This is a complete lamp unit. Lens only is not even available to buy.
