Seat Ibiza 06 Rear brake light removal

[MattPryce]

I am trying to change the brake bulbs on my 06 Ibiza but cannot get the light assembly out.
I have removed the two screws as shown in the manual but then is just says to "pull". This doesnt work as it appears to be stuck at the other end.
I dont want to just use brute force as it feels like it wont take much more before snapping!
Is there a nack to removing the light assembly?

Thanks

Matt

Undo the screws then give the light cluster a firm shove towards the back of the car. It can be quite stiff, but it will come out eventually.

A tip though... this is one of the regular questions for newbies, so it might be an idea to have a little search in the future.

Once you undo the screws in the lip of the bonet then the only thing holding the light assembly in place are two sprung clips at the other end of the assembly. They are quite stiff so I put a scrapper between the light assembly and the car (covered with a cloth to protect the paintwork). I pulled the light assembly toward the rear of the car from the end that was screwed in place and levered the scrapper. It took a bit of effort and I thought I would break the light assembly but it came out.

I hope this helps

You will feel like your going to break it as it does take some force to get it out!

Holy double thread revival!
Atleast you searched for it

I took both the bolts out, but scared to pull the side on the rear quarter.

Do a massive burn out...

Manual says just pull it hard. Just feels like something will break
