Procedure

  1. Park the vehicle, set the parking brakes, and open the trunk lid. 
  2. On the side with the worn-out bulbs, remove the little plastic cover behind the trunk lid that allows you to access the bulbs. 
  3. Depress the two plastic clips that hold the light assembly in. Be careful not to break those or the light won't go back in.
