HELP!

Sunday morning and I'm trying to install towbar electrics - at least I would if I could get the rear light housings off -I've removed screws and done what it says in the handbook - but they won't come off - any tips

Reluctant to go for the big mallet solution as I think rear light clusters are expensive if they break!

Just put a screwdriver wraped in a rag between the light and the body and gently wedge it out (be carefull of the body paint). When it start moving you can pull it by hand. LR D3 S Black, Auto TDV6

Great - that worked - thanks

NEXT Dumb question - how do the multi connectors separate - don't seem to just pull apart - do you have to lever down the catch or something?

Must remember to buy some metric spanners. Meanwhile, Land Rover Assistance have their uses even if not the intended ones.
