Default Replacing tailight bulb

Hey guys,

I need some further explaination as to how to replace the corner bulb on the rear tailight. Here is a pic of the area I am trying to replace the bulb as well as a pic of how it looks from the inside of the trunk. Do I have to take off all the carpet material in the car and unscrew everything? Thanks

I think you have to remove the taillight. Unscrew the other bolts and pull the taillight out. There should be enough slack in the wiring to pull it out far enough to take out the bulbs.

you didn't need to peal back the trunk lining. there is 4 small plastic coveres you just pop off and stick in a 10mm socket and take off 4 nuts, its a 5-10 min job.
