OK so please save me all the sarcastic remarks, it's just that I don't know how to remove the box that houses the globe.

Sedan or wagon?
If its sedan, you will need to remove all the plastic lock studs and your boot liner will come off and your globes are T10 (same as your parkers).
Wagon, I have no idea...

The one that illuminates the boot when the boot is open.

The above info is to replace the number plate lights.
I cannot recall exactly but the clearish plastic cover should just chip off?

I already tried this. The cover has some nodules on the edge but when I tried slightly squeezing the base edges of the cover, it wouldn't budge..

(I just went to take some pics...)
If your boot light cover is anything like mine, then you
gently forcibly squeeze the sides and it just comes off.

Mine was broken when I had a look. So I bought a led strip. It's so bloody bright!!!! Had a t10 adapter to wire so I used that to fit...
