removing driver's side rear light cluster

[Darzet]

Hi
Help please. Rear brake bulb gone but having the devil of a job to take the driver's side rear cluster out. It seems like not quite free at the top of the cluster. Passenger side one unclips no problem - sadly that's not the one with the burn out bulb.
Am I missing something here? My manual doesn't show anything specific I need to do other than press the clip and release.
Thanks folks

Yep,your missing something,they are mirrors of each other,persevere it will detach.

Using a mirror and comparing t'other side, seems like previous owner managed to refit the cluster but pushed it too far in. Theres a curved metal clip at the top - looks like the dish of a spoon and won't retract without doing some damage to it.
Bum 'oles!

Undo the 4 8mm (if memory serves me right) nuts and remove the whole unit,it just pulls out,you should then see whats going on.

Yep, definitely remove 8mm nuts and see whats going on and put back to normal if possible.
