Default License Plate and Reverse Lights

It pains me to have to ask, as I consider myself somewhat mechanically able.

How do I get the bulbs for the license plate and reverse lights?

There is no obvious panel for access and no screws visible to remove the light covers.

TIA!

Seriously, to replace some bulbs?

And I thought German engineering was the challenging maintenance.

I believe the plate bulb size is 168. I sell a pair of 168 white or blue LED for $4.99 shipped. Also have many different color 74 style wedges for interior lighting.

Let me know if I can help out in any way.

To replace license plate lights - simply get the lights out, no need to pull the panel. There is a small tab next to each light.

To replace reverse lights - you do need to pull tailgate panel.
