Does anyone have instructions for removal of left rear corner tail lamp? Have to replace a burnt out bulb...

Well, here goes from memory. When you open your trunk, you will see a little round pop-off cover just to the right of the light. Pop this off with a small screwdriver. Under it is a bolt (about 10mm) that you will need to remove. That was the easy part. Inside the trunk you need to pull away the lining that covers the light. You will see these white plactic clips that show a square post pushed through the clip with tabs that popped out to hold it in place. Similar to the way a molly bolt works on drywall. Using a needlenose pliers, you will need t squeeze the tabs and push the post back through the hole. You will now be able to take the light out and replace the bulb. Be careful as it is easy to break these clips (I did). You might want to replace the other bulbs while you are there.

Good Luck!!
