    I need to replace a brake globe on my 2001 Commodore S VX. Can someone please tell me how to do this? I can not see an easy way in to it. There are two screws holding one end of the light cluster in but it still will not come off (do I force it some more?). Thank you for any help.

    Are you working from inside the boot or on the outside trying to take off the plastic lens?

    undo the 2 screws then slap (with palm of your hand) tail light housing outwards (sideways) do not try and pull backwards

    Undo the two screws. The outer side is held in by two plastic prongs. It's meant to be a tight fit to get it out. Just do as said above. Then once out, simply swap the globes over, put the prongs back in first, knock them home and do up the screws.
