Accessing Tail Lightbulbs

[jeeper5usa]

I'm sorry, but I did a search and just couldnt find pictures of how to access the lightbulbs in my hatchback lights. Does anyone have a link to where I can see how to access my backup lightbulbs? :iono: Thanks in advance.

There is a plastic piece that pops off on either side to give you access. Once you remove it you will see the bulb sockets, which you twist to remove. The back-up light is the bottom one.

I've twisted the socket but it only moves about 1/8 turn and will not extract when I pull it.I'm nervous about using pliers or screwdriver to lever it in case the plastic breaks.
cheers

oh just use your fingers to twist it. IIRC it twists CCW when removing (CW to put back in)

Pliers or any other item will damage the tabs.
