Replace a Brake Bulb - not easy! Help!

[runsgrateasanut]

Could Lexus have made it more diffuclt to change a failed brake bulb? I doubt it.

OK I've taken off  six plastic tabs out and unscrewed a triagular external drain flap. 

There are two white clips the top one almost grippable and the lower impossible to reach.  How do these clips release the unit?  Can't easily squeze.  Top or sides?  Baffled Any ideas please?

The lights have locaating lugs which push into holes on the car bodywork

Maybe this will help:

Thanks Mark.  I've worked it out that the unit just pushes in to the white clips, (Guy in the video didn't mention this!!) but I hadn't undone two screws at the side so there was no movement. Doh!  Took Son and I, must have been an hour, to work it out. Oh well will be easier next time.
