Owners manual did not have anything on it. Does anyone know how to change the reverse light bulbs? I can't figure out how to take the lense out to get to the bulb. Thanks.

Nevermind. Found the service manual right up in the sticky thread. It looks like you have to take apart the entire trunk internal plastic coverings in order to change a simple back-up light and license plate light. How lame, what a dumb design. Guess I'm sticking with the standard bulbs for now instead of LEDs.

Guys,

As soon as I get a free weekend I will tackle this with a DIY and post some pictures I love taking things apart!
