How do I access this light to change it? (Pic Inside)
One of my rear lights is out but I can't seem to locate the spot on where to access it. Any help would be appreciated. I managed to pull out a plug like thing from the top of the lid but that was about it.
Thanks.
Thanks.

You talking about the one in the trunk lid? There is a plastic cover that goes from one side to the other. There are a few plastic buttons, look for these and use a pliers to pull the center out, this will allow you to remove the plugs holding the cover in place. You should then be able to access the lights. When I did mine I remove teh whole light fixture, but I can't remember if you really need to do that or if I did more work then I needed to do.

There are 5 bolts that hold that bad boy on. The one that is hidden is to the right of the trunk lock. I wanna say 10 mil nut...make sure you take it off before you break something

While you were in there, you should have converted 'em to brake lights..

Thanks to RandMan for the parts, and BillBoost for shipping them.
