I'm trying to change the brake bulb in my wifes Ford Fusion 53 plate.
The handbook refers to lifting a flap in the boot area and undoing a wingnut. And also undoing the 2 philips screws.
First off the screws are torx heads and not philips.
Second there is no flap that the book refers to.
I've removed the screws and pulled on the light unit without success, so there must be something else holding it.
Damned if I can see anything.

Anyone have any ideas?

Hi mate there is a small hole inside the boot behind where the lights are there is a small plastic nut that you undo by hand thumb and finger job its quite small but its there I was going nuts trying to find it on my old fusion

Cheers mate, I found it.
Need the hands of an 8 year old to get in there. Bugger of a job.
Headlight bulb blown today and now it looks like the whole headlight unit had to come out.

Next time I buy a car I will ask sales guy to demonstrate changing bulbs with the tools supplied.
