Bulb replacement in rear bumper [how do I do it?]

[kacyk]

I just replaced a bulb (driver side bumper). It's helps if you remove the three tabs that hold in the plastic lining. There's one under the bumper cover and two directly behind the bumper facing the tire.

If you have Popeye arms you may want to remove the tire so the plastic lining pulls back all the way. Otherwise, have fun reaching in and feeling your way around.

Twist counter clockwise to release the bulb.

Hmmmm I thought the rear lower lights were made for a flathead screwdriver to pop in one side to get them out?

Serious? That would have been a ton easier! But I won't try that unless someone else confirms. I'd hate to brake anything.

Confirmed! I swapped mine out today with some led. You need a flathead screwdriver. Insert at top of lens. There's a tab there holding it in. Still going to be easier to crawl under to swap out the bulb though.
