Rear Bumper Removal?

Anyone have a guide and or tips in removing the bumper from an 05 RX330? I have to replace the corner light since it was cracked in a hit and run. I'd rather not break anything else trying to take it off. Thanks guys

I think there is just one bolt that fastens the corner light that can be accessed from underneath the bumper. I have a 2007 RX 350 but I think they are the same. I wouldn't think you need to remove the entire bumper to do this, but I could be wrong.

I've replaced the corner light on a '04 RX and the bumper does not require removal. You may only have to pop one or two of the plastic bumper tabs to get better access.

Ditto...no need to get the bumper off. Unless you want to.

corner light request

I need to replace my corner light too. I believe they are called side marker lenses. Where did you find a replacement? Was it an aftermarket product or OEM? I'd love to avoid taking it to a garage just to replace a lenses/bulb.
