OK guys, got it all done.

Number plate and Parkers are T10 globes. I used LED SMD bulbs, a bit longer than usual T10 glass bulbs. The front they will fit ok but the back won't fit so nicely, the LED will touch the plastic case a bit, I recommend you get a shorter SMD or one that is the same length as the Glass globes.

As for the removing the parkers, I figured my problem, I was trying to remove the big "Pop Screw" from the body, but what you have to do it remove it from the Washer around it, just stick a screw driver in and push the washer down and wedge up the actual pop screw. I broke a bit of the fender lining though :/ so please be gentle when trying to remove the screws (I broke it from forcing it out, shouldn't happen if you use the remove from washer method, so don't worry about breaking it too much.)

But still must say compared to previous cars I've owned, you need the smallest hands to change the parkers and still you'll get a bit of cuts here and there from the fender lining. I would have to say its the best car design (I've owned) but as for changing bulbs, worse car design I've owned so far.

If anyone needs any more info, feel free to ask, it's not that easy for me to explain what I did in one go

Thanks guys,

I haven't been able to open up the number plate lights yet, but I've bought T10 Wedges to go in, I assume they will be T10 but I will post an update if I manage to get it done.

Well yes I agree, it seems like it's been designed to be done at the dealers.
I have a Mazda 2 - pop up bonnet, unscrew holder, replace bulb, re-screw holder.
Mitsubishi Magna - pop up bonnet, unlock headlights, remove holder, replace globe, reverse process.

This is by far the most annoying design, I agree.

According to the book........ I need to drive, steer in the opposite direction so the wheel is facing inwards towards the body, the plastic bit above and around the wheels needs to be opened, by removing 2 screws and one pop style screw (pain in the back to explain) and then pull back all the plastic guard, stick my hand in, find the holder, unscrew, bring towards wheel, remove bulb, replace bulb, and reverse process.........

And hence why I had to resort to being a noob and post here
