Unsure, I've got a 5 DR hatchback and used the following:

Very simple to fit the handbook has most of the details in:

  1. Lift the boot
  2. On the left hand side there's a cover, slide it to the left towards the end of the boot
  3. Push inwards the two clips (detailed within the handbook) and pull the black unit down, to do so I used the cable as you don't need to pull hard
  4. Remove the black holder from the light housing and locate the clear bulb
  5. Depress and twist the bulb (think bayonet fitting) and it'll pop out
  6. Replace bulb
  7. Refit into housing and clip back in :)
