You need to remove the whole light unit out. There are 2-3 screws in the back. They are 10mm. GL

Actually, it is even easier to change out the reverse light bulbs, just look under the rear bumper.
Simply twist and pull the light socket out.

BTW, I use these as my reverse light.

No error light on the dash.

when it comes to led light, i always buy the brightest i can find in the market.
although they cost more (maybe a lot more sometimes), yet lots of led light bulbs out there actually perform way worse than your stock filament bulbs.

as far as i can tell, the output of my led reverse light look only close to that of stock bulbs even with 40 smd led. I hate the yellowish light from stock bulbs, so I can live with a little less output.
