Welcome to the forum. Unfortunately it is being targetted by a spammer this week but hopefully it will be sorted by admin.

Hello . Just joined the Forum today. I've bought a C5 Estate 2007 1.6 Diesel. A Brake bulb has gone.

How do I replace it? I'm bemused by the instructions in the Handbook. Do I attempt to lever off the 2

black cowlings? It feels as if they will snap. Help!!  Stephen.

The estate rear lower light section has to be removed,

- prise out the lower plastic nut cover disc, use a thin walled deep/long 10mm socket to remove the now revealed nut, the lower light is still held to the body by 2 lugs, 1 at the top and 1 near the bottom, it helps in removal to use a screwdriver to lever out backwards the top of the lower light against the upper light between the 2 red lenses whilst pulling the light but be carefull to avoid damage to the lenses and any paintwork (a bit of cardboard may help and also on the bumper).

- To remove the upper light, do the lower one first and similarly remove the nut cover/nut and pull the light off.

 

In the handbook, by cowling they mean the nut cover disc.The small lugs on these are easy to break off and black tape can cover the nut holes,  new ones cost about £1.50 for 2 on a C3.

 

If you get the C5 Haynes manual, it shows the lower light lugs on page 12.13, fig. 9.21.
