Seems there is no easy way to get to those things?

Anyone have a clue on how to get to those? My passanger side one went out and one light going looks sorta lame.

Thanks for your help.

Try opening the trunk and accessing the bulbs from the rear of the trunk deck. The FSM left out the license bulb replacement schematic. If I had a 2001 I would try it on mine.

Nope, after stripping down the trunk carpet there is a big steel plate... then again the LB is located on the bumper not the trunk area...

It is also not reachable from the bottom.

I'm thinking either...

A: I'm gonna have to take off my entire bumper to do this little thing or...

B: I can just pop the light's clear cover off.

I pray to god it's B.

Can anyone confirm this?

most of the time if an item such as this just pops off, their should be a small slot on one end, wich is used for a pop tool ..... such as a flat head.
