How the HELL do you get to the rear indicators and stop/tail light bulbs? Do you seriously have to take out all of the individual boot interior panels?

From memory,

There is a clipped in cover on the inside of the boot space over each light cluster. Remove this and then unbolt the 2 / 3 nuts holding the cluster on. I think you need to twist the cluster slightly to remove it as there is a tag located on onside.

Or i could be totally wrong.

I think you are wrong as there is no detachable panel!

IF YOU OPEN THE BOOT YOU'LL SEE THE REAR LIGHT CLUSTER IS HELD IN POSITION BY 2 SMALL SCREWS... UNSCREW THEM AND THEN SLIDE THE WHOLE CLUSTER OUT.... I THINK IT SLIDES OUT TO THE SIDE... AND THEN JUST PULL THE BULB OUT OF THE BACK OF THE CLUSTER... TAKES ABOUT 2 MINUTES! ITS BEEN A WHILE SINCE I CHANGED MY STOP/TAIL BULB SO IM NOT SURE IF THERE WERE ANY CLIPS HOLDING IT IN....

I think blue spud meant the reverse and fog lights.

Yeah unscrew the two screws and pop the light off, it takes all of 1 minute per side to remove, add new bulb and refit.
