Changing a Stop Light Bulb
 

Need some guidance on replacing the left side bulb.

Have the manual out. Detached the vent trim panel, removed the lamp unit securing nut and pulled off the rear light unit trim panel. Am at the place in the manual where it says "firmly pull the rear lamp unit away from the vehicle..." I've pulled as firmly as I'm comfortable with and while it moves it seem that it is still attached at the narrow end and I can't get the lamp unit to release.

Any tips on getting it to release?

Thanks,
Tom

Adding this answer for others to enjoy in the future :

I had the same problem earlier today, and finally figured it out. There are actually 2 nuts you need to remove. The first is easy to get to - as the manual shows. The second one is only reachable if you partly remove the cloth cover of the trunk. There is a plastic pin in the vicinity of the panel you removed, that once you take out you can gently pull the cloth away, and you will discover another nut hiding above and inside the first nut. Once you remove this second one, the lamp will loosen up and easy to remove.

FYI Jaguar's usually require at least two nuts!!
