Takes minutes to change and makes a big difference to the look of the rear at night. Most people buy from ebay. I bought some from ebay .. you need w5w bulbs. Mine has got 9 leds on it. When you fit them if the bulb doesn't work then take it out and turn it 180 degrees. Not sure if they need to be canbus bulbs.

You don't, this is the mistake I made.

Just twist the connector and the bulb will pull out.

I spent ages trying to lever the cover off to then realize it doesn't come out.
