You need to remove the light unit first. Open the tailgate, unclip the inner trim panel from the inside of the rear pillar, unscrew the plastic retaining nuts and withdraw the light unit (straight out). Disconnect the wiring connector on removal.
The bulbholder can then be removed from the light unit by releasing the retaining clips and withdrawing the bulbholder.
Just make a note of where any insulating material goes as you take it apart. You don't want any leaks in the car afterwards so make sure it goes back exactly as it was.
