Default How to replace tailight blub

My driver side tail light were out yesterday and will need to replace, went to a nearby shop and got the replacment blub, however, I have no idea of how to replace the blub. Do I need to take apart all the material that is covering the access to the light or there is another way? The owner's manual didn't say anything regarding this. Anyone have a detail description on this.

Why Lexus makes replacing the blub so hard? Why not just make it like 99.9% of other cars that take the most 3-5 minutes?

Prost,

Check out the DIY link I put in this thread

https://www.clublexus.com/forums/sho...0&postcount=52

on replacing the tail lights from old style to new. Just follow the same process to pull out your tail light and twist the bulb that needs replacing out & replace it. Takes all of 10 minutes once you know how to do it.

Make sure to test the bulb before you button it back up.
