Question Who's Changed Their Taillight Bulbs?

When I say taillight, I mean the bulb in the red portion at the bottom of the lamp.

Per the OM, they are 5W, Type D.

I've got one that seems to be ready to expire (tripping the 'out' sensor on my dash, then resetting itself) so I figured I'd go ahead and change both of them.

Curious who's done it, and where I might find the replacement bulbs; which auto part store. This much most cost effective than the dealer; usually about $5. I've done it on previously owned vehicles.

I think there is access from the trunk, but not sure.

FWIW, the archives have info about clearing out the taillights, and HID bulbs, but no other info on stock replacement.

TIA
