3IS having trouble changing reverse lights =(

I'm trying to install led reverse lights
i removed the lining in the truck around the tail light but can't see what i need to pull out to remove the reverse light.. do i have to pull off the entire taillight ?

There should only be one bulb socket (should be white) on the trunk lid for each side. Just twist it counterclockwise and it'll come out. Remove the old bulb and stick the new one in and twist it back into the socket. Check page 441 of the owner's manual.

Taillight does not need to come out. Hardest part for me was taking out the lining.

Just to make sure, you are looking on the trunk LID, correct?
