2023 C5 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified
Haven't seen a tech tip but I replaced mine with ambers.
I unscrewed the outer brake light on each side (toex screws). You then need to reach in to get at the unit. The bulb holder unclips with a turn. Unscrew the nuts on the screw threads that hold the marker on. Its a long reach and a bit fiddly. Can't remember the wrench size.
Reinstalation is the reverse. Looks good but takes a bit of time. Its also more of a fiddle on the Vert on the passanger side as the antenna is in the way.
Best of luck.
