Being a good lad I had a trial of changing bulbs before I have to. Van is 2022 so hopefully unnecessary.
First comment on front cluster. Recommend removing the 2 T30 torx bolts and sliding out the unit. Access is simple and especially for the H7 bulb clips.
With the rear cluster the internal fittings will restrict access. Removing the internal panel gives access to the power plug (push down top clip and pull out) and 2 retainers (see pic).
I used a 17mm socket on a swivel. Fiat tool ok for a van is obstructed with internal lining (Auto-Trail).
There is a retaining clip for the unit below the electrical connection. Mine snapped, but useless in any case.
Once released the unit pulls out the back and has 2 locating pins on the outside to refit. Be careful that the cluster doesn't fall out. The fitting isn't tight.
