Hi, how do you remove the rear tail lamps on an 2011 Avant to access the bulbs, as can't seem to find any retaining nuts to undo?
 
A large plastic extended screw through a hole inside the boot.
 
You need to remove the panels in the boot nearest to the lights & there is a big plastic nut which you unscrew they can be a bit tight then once they're undone you need to pull the lights away from the body there's a peg that locates them on the side of the body then unclip the wire harness & there's 3 plastic bolts to undo to get to the bulbs.
 
Cheers, sorted now.

Had to take it off as had condensation in the indicator lens, but once I got it off it looked like the previous owner has had the light off and not seated the seal between the bulb holder and the light unit correctly. So took it off and reseated the seal correctly.

Fingers crossed its worked.
 
I hope you have not trapped the moisture in there?
 
oh yes, I made sure it was fully dried out before refitting.
