   How do you get them apart properly with out breaking them ??? I've tried loads of times in the past when I need to change the lamps but they always break

   Undo the 2 screws either side of the plastic bulb holder and pull it off. It might be stuck on so slowly and gently prize it off with a screw driver, they shouldn't break

   There's no screws on the outside of the lights just 2 pin holes. Are the screws in side the boot ?? Thought you could un do the covers from the outside of the boot ??

   Ummm maybe I was thinking of another car haha, I think maybe they just unclip from the inside then! I was sure they had screws though

   The screw one is usually pug and some very old Saxos.
   
   Anyways reach your hand right inside the boot and squeeze the plastics together and wiggle, it'll tear your hands up and take a while but can be done.
   You can also if the clear plastic isn't too brittle lever that off as that's only clipped on???
