F11 rear outer light cluster replacement

Anybody done this?

Today I reversed into a bush and it has broken the rear RHS outer cluster (well I know technically it was my stupid fault, but I am sure the bush jumped out on me ). I know I can source one, just wondering how I go about replacing it.

If anyone has experience of doing it or knows of a source (knowledge etc.) then I would very much appreciate the help.

Regards

Steve

It's fairly simple.

1. Remove plastic trim in the middle

2. Rmove trunk lining on the side of your damaged tail light

3. Disconnect plug to tail light

4. Remove 3 nuts for tail light

5. Pull tail light housing out

Thanks for the help, found a great video on YouTube. Should have said it was an F11. Seems that all you have to do is open a little plastic tab and remove two nuts. Unit then pulls out, disconnect wire header, reconnect on new unit and replace nuts and cover.
