You will need:
First of all you'll need to take the black plastic trim off your boot. There's x3 10mm torx screws holding it in place. One either side and under the boot handle. Undo them, then it simply pulls off.
This should be the end result
Unclip all the electrical connectors. I started off by pulling the de-misters off. Wiggle them about, if they don't come off, prize the black wrap up, and bend the crimp slightly. Pull off, don't snap the copper connector.
Hardests ones to unplug are the number plate lights, but you'll find this out.
Once all electrical bits are unclipped, slide them behind the window wiper motor to the passenger side.
Move onto the 3rd light, push in the two side buttons and pull up from the bottom, revealing your 3rd light innards.
There are two more 10mm torx screws. You'll need to undo these as well.
One in, the bulb plate should slide out when you squeeze the tabs holding it in, unclip the light connector in there to.
Whilst in there, you'll need to disconnect the window washer jet hose, With the screw driver, push the tubing off the plastic.
Don't rush this next bit, it's easy but be gentle, on the passenger side, there should be rubber, pull this out of your boot lid revealing the wiring, and pull all of your loose cabled through and down.
On the drivers side, simply pull the washer hose down and through in simliar fashion
Next you'll want to un-clip the hydraulic arms, screw driver under them, they'll pop off easy, keep them safe. WARNING: The boot will need to now be held up with your head, or something, or it'll slam down on.
Next, you'll need your 10mm nut/spanner what ever to undo the four bolts holding the lid in place. Once these are all undo, don't let go of your lid. Carry it off somewhere safe.
To put the lid back on, it's the guide in reverse, however it tricky feeding the wiring back through. This is where your long bit of wire and tape comes in. Just use it to help feed and pull your wiring and tubing through the boot to the correct place. As for the hydraulic arms, i found needle nose pliers were good for stretching the horshoe clips over the ball, then you simply push them into place.
Connect all your wiring back, check your washers working etc etc.
