How do I change the centre (high) brake light on a Ford Fiesta Mk6 (2005)?

The Ford manual specifies that you should %26quot;remove the 2 grommets%26quot; (on the inside top edge of the boot hatch), then release some kind of clip inside the now-exposed holes using a screwdriver. No matter how hard I try, I can't find ANYTHING to unscrew or unclip inside either of those holes!How do I change the centre (high) brake light on a Ford Fiesta Mk6 (2005)?Shine a light up into the holes to see how the release clip may work. Here's the general instructions (below). You may have to use force and know where to apply the force to snap the stoplight plastic housing off. Maybe the dealer would give you a clue knowing you bought your car there!



%26quot;One place where you will run into the most problems is the Center Mount Stop Light (CMSL). Most are mounted inside the car on the rear deck lid. Removing these can be a problem. Some have mounting screws hidden by small plastic covers. Some have studs extending down into the trunk and are held in with small nuts. This requires you go into the trunk, remove the nuts and lift the whole assembly out. Some simply snap into place and can be difficult to remove if you don't know where the lock tabs are.%26quot;
