Default Removing rear bumper corner

Guys,
I'm sorry if this has been mentioned before but I can't find any proper info on how to remove the rear left hand bumper corner.
The previous owner must have hit it slightly and it is bent a bit towards the front. I have removed the rear bumper overlay no problem and then the three plastic fixings from the bumper corner but the light in the corner seems to be stopping it from coming out.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

I need to do the same on mine except it was a valet that did mine and I didn't notice until after I got home. I have yet to attempt it myself.

ok.....got it sorted.
It's amazing what you can see in the daylight
I looked under the rear bumper and saw the back of the light. Had a couple of nuts on the back. Took them off and then the whole thing could be removed.
I used the jack between tire and the bumper corner and straightened it out.
Now looks perfect !!
Thanks anyway.

How exactly did you remove the lights, i tried removing the two nuts that hold the light on but do i have to remove the nuts holding holding the bumper supports as well

As far as I can remember, you just undo the two nuts on back of light and then it pops out.
I think it kinda clips in so you may want to lightly lever the top or bottom of lens from the outside and pop it out !
