One of my rear light bulbs needs to be replaced. How do i do this? I tried taking off 3 screws but the rear light wont come off. Do i even need to take the whole light off? Please help

not sure about this - but when i was replacing front bulbs i started to unscrew bolts too. The bulbs were just twist out bulbs where the wires went in - silly question, but have you tried that? with most modern 1990+ cars, things just snap together for ease of manufacture. If you still need to know by tonight i will let you know then as i will check mine when i get home from work.

Yeh i've looked but cannot see the bulbs. Looks as though i have to take the whole rear light out to replace the bulb. However, i cannot take it out.

Yeah, you have to take out the entire light cluster to change the bulb.
The bulbs screw into the light cluster itself.
If I remember correctly, there are like 5 nuts to be removed.
Also, there is the power connector it self.

Yeah D-Train you are right...
4 nuits, and slide the light housing out - then the bulbs simply twist out of that. Took me 3 minutes to open it up remove a light and put it back together...too easy.
