On the WQ you just under the bolts and it slides off. I'm not sure about the WP tho. It doesnt say in the manual?

I've taken out the 2 holding screws but no amount of reasonable force will remove the tail light. Not keen on forcing it too much in case something breaks. It seems like there is something else holding it there.

if its the wp, i had the same problem with my sisters fiesta wanted to shred it into peices, if you look at the light from the inside of the boot you can flip abit of the carpet off, there a black plastic screw on part, no screwdriver needed, just turn it with your fingers and they come out right away.
