Default MK6 Fiesta -How to remove bulb from high mounted brake light?

I have a mk6 Fiesta. The bulb in the high mounted brake light on the rear windscreen has stopped working. How do I get access to the bulb so I can replace it?
I can see two holes in the metal work underneath the brake light and I have inserted a flat bladed screw driver in and wiggled it about hoping to release a catch or spring but nothing happened.

I have taken some photos so you can see what I'm talking about.







These photos show the orange brake housing but no catches or springs to release the housing

In the 2 holes are 2 tabs which hold the light in, look inside the hole with a light and pop one out at a time and that should do the trick
