I think you need to remove the inside trim at the top first (behind the rear spoiler) then the two side trims then finally the one at the bottom which covers the lights.
If I remember correctly they all just pull off quite easy.

For real lights in the wings, I think its just the nuts/bolts you can see then you need to lever them out. Let me see if I can find the link I used.
For the Hatch door, pull the trim out as Carl says. Will feel like you going to break it, but its pretty bendy wendy and I'm not patient, it all came out and all went back in unsmashed. The bolts for the flat clusters are obvious from that point.

Just realised Ive made 2 posts there, both useful, both slightly technical and both before Mario.
I'm off for a lie down.

I think I've got some left and and I'm buggered if I'm going to do the headlights any time soon. I'll go and check for you. If you can get your arse over to Bishop you are welcome to grab some if you want to get it finished next few days.

Would love to hear how you get on with the headlights. The only threads Ive seen suggest its the whole front end off the car to get to them.
