Default How do I replace a tail light bulb?

It appears as though I need to remove the entire tail light? I'm used to being able to just twist the bulb out of the enclosure, but this one seems to be sealed.

Yes. You have to pull out the entire tailight to change the bulb.

It's really easy. There are two screws on the outside by the trunk lid and two on the inside of the trunk. Then it slips right out. Takes 5 minutes

Jut did mine half hour ago. The bolts mentioned are hidden under the caps. Remove the inside and outside caps and you should be able to see the bolts.

Thanks, that was easier than expected. The link with pictures was especially helpful.
