The bulbs that are inside the tail lights that are part of the trunk lid can be accessed through openings on the interior of the trunk lid. These bulbs are very easy to replace.
To replace the outer bulbs, you have to remove the tail light assembly. First, remove the plastic trim along the top of the trunk lining. Then pull the trunk liner away from the tail light assembly. This will give you access to the nuts that hold the tail light assembly in place. A deep well socket will be helpful. I don't remember the size of the nuts and exactly how many there are.
After the nuts are removed, pull out on the tail light assembly. It can be difficult to remove because there is an alignment guide which has a very tight fit. Just keep pulling on it. After you separate the assembly a few inches from the car body, you can easily access the bulbs.

You can use that as a script to actually get to the bulbs...then installing the bulbs is common sense....
Hope it helps

You sound like me...I'm **** as hell, I check...then re-check...then check once more before I close it...and I still usually forget to reinstall those damn black rubber things!!!
Good job though, LSport.
Are they LEDs you installed, or just bulbs?

Trunk tail lights
I need to replace the tail lights in the trunk lid on a 2000 LS. I opened the compartments and see the two bulbs. How do the bulbs release?
