it would be cheaper to call out local brakedown recovery people , they will have one and remove it for you, you possibly could buy one from a motor vehicle supply store expencive way or online, sorry its not that helpfull
Depending on the style lock I had used a socket which a hammered on so tight then took a ratchet to remove the lock. Also a muffler clamp saddle will do if hammered into the locks keyway slot. Then two pipe wrenches are needed to remove the lock that way. One wrench goes onto the muffle saddle and the other wrench attaches to the one wrench's handle so you can turn it loose .. Hard to explain but after reading this message draw a picture of my explanation to figure out.
Very difficult. You have to open the inside access door on the drivers side, remove the amp and wheel well cover, pinch the tabs and the bulb cluster will release. The taillight assembly is bolted from inside of the car, so it can't be done outside.
Get a set of new bulbs.
Remove lens by disconecting rotary knob retainer from the inside , remove old bulbs,
straighten spring clips in socket and aply di electric grease instal bulbs ,,,test.
Vitally
Open the vehicle's hood and secure it in an upright position.
Disconnect the negative battery cable.
Remove the socket cover by pulling it straight off, or turning it clockwise then pulling it off.
Carefully twist the bulb and socket counterclockwise, then pull the assembly from the headlight housing.
Holding the base of the bulb, detach it from the connector harness.
To install:
Holding the base of the bulb, install it securely in the connector.
Install the connector and bulb assembly in the housing and twist to lock into position.
Install the sealing cover by pushing it on and/or turning it counterclockwise. Make sure the cover is installed securely or the lens will be out of focus, or water may get into the light unit.
Disconnect the negative battery cable and check the headlight operation.
YES YOU CAN BUY NEW LUG NUTS AND KEYS AT ANY AUTO PARTS STORE. THE ONLY PROBLEM I CAN SEE IS GETTING THE OLD LUG OFF. AS FAR AS THAT GOES, JUST BE AS CAREFUL AS POSSIBLE NOT TO STRIP IT OUT ANY MORE THAN IT ALREADY IS.
As long as you know the key number, go back to your dealer.
If you don't know the number then you will have to get them all removed by professional ie the dealer or a tyre centre and buy a new set of bolts/nuts.
