E300td - rear number plate lamp

[johnsco]

Hi All.
I need to change one of the bulbs for the rear number plate.
Never done one before.
It's not obvious whether I remove the boot lid liner ... or whether I get at it from the outside.

Looking at the outside, there are two Phillips-type screws securing the housing containing the two lamps.
Is this the key ??

Advice please.
Many Thanks.

Yes unscrew the two screws and the light should come out.

Did the job this morning.
There were actually 4 screws ... Hellishly-tight.
Some-one in the past has butchered one of the screws, but I managed to shift it.
The lamp cover hadn't been moved in a long time ... Needed a bit of pursuasion to break the seal away from the car body.
Changed bulb ... Bosch 5 watt tubular lamp ... Bosch pack No 239 ... Re-assembled.
Job done !!

Looking at wife's E430 ... There only appear to be two securing screws on that car and two silver studs ... Although the assembly looks pretty-much the same.
