Hi all
This is my maiden post, so please bear with me. My n/s rear light on my 2012 Ampera has lost some LEDS. I am trying to remove the unit to investigate,but have come to the point when a bit of advice would be good before I break something.Any. advice please

Pics here of me attacking it to try to fix condensation problem. Hope it helps!
rear reflectors have moisture in them permanently

Do you have the Service manual?
This is showing the tail light, might help. Never removed this bit

If it's the brake/indicator light unit rather than the reflectors then before you can remove the two parts indicated by Spiny above, you have to first remove the rear bumper/facia. Not done it myself but I had to take the front off last week and that was quite straightforward if a bit fiddly with lots of screws and plastic fixings. The bit I thought would be most difficult - splitting the body mouldings at the join was actually quite easy, you just need a thin blade to insert in the gap to depress the fixing tabs and they part like a zip.

This video shows how its done on a Volt

Ampera is similar I imagine.
