How to get to fixings

[Spyderromeo]

Hi I am new to this, and maybe I am starting this in the wrong place, if I am can someone point me in the right direction. 

The problem is associated with the rear number plate lights and bezel. When I say bezel it is the complete chrome or painted boot lock, light and boot wide JAGUAR logo. I have just bought a new chrome unit less lights lock initiating button i.e just the chrome plastic molding ( I thought it had a "u" in it but my spell detector says no)  any way I want to take the old one of but don't want to break the lenses, They are obviously brittle and I can find lots of places were I can get a screw driver but I don't want to break the lens by doing it wrong. Has  anyone done this little job recently and can remember where is the right place and in what direction or to be blunt how do you do it.

The first few minutes of this video shows how to remove the number plate lights.

Hi Jim, most folks sign off with their member name (nom de plume) but your real first name should be visible in the little profile box on the left of each post.

Jimbov you are an absolute star! the first few mins of the video show exactly what I wanted. It even had a little tip to stop damage to the chrome on the plastic next to it. Thank you I just wasn't sure anyone would answer such a random question never mind such a fabulous accurate close up how to do it. Providing the weather is okay I will change over to a nice new shiny chrome number plate area. It is a new car to me and when I bought it the paintwork on the whole light cluster was a bit rough and really the only item that needed attention. Thanks again
