For the life of me, how do you replace the bulbs for the footwells, cargo area, side markers and license plate lights?

I did get the footwell flap opened, but how to remove the bulb?

I assume you'll need to remove some panels in the cargo area to get to the bulbs??

For the cargo area, the rear panels just pull right out and you can then push the light housing out easily to get to the bulbs. I think there are 3 pieces: center, left and right. I can't remember if the center has to come off first to get to the side ones that the lights are in. That is for a coupe atleast.

The sidemarkers I think you have to reach up under the fender and push them out. The previous owner of mine borke the clips on both sides to hold them in so mine are simply double sided taped on. So don't worry if you break the clips, it looks flawless still with the tape holding them on.

I think the easiest way to get at the side makers is to remove the outside tail lights on each side and just reach right in and remove the bulbs. Your licence plate bulbs can be reached by removing the 4 screws in the panel where your rear license plate is mounted. I think it takes a#10 torqex screw driver.

For the footwells - pull the panel down and snap the clear lens out from the inside... replace the bulb and snap the lens back in.

I just did this last week, and the easiest way to get at the license plate bulbs is take the two screws our of the two center rear lights, and once you hang them down, reach in and remove the license plate bulbs, they take a 2057 socket light bulb. I actually put in a high intensity bulbs in so I can see better when I'm backing out of my driveway. Very easy job !

Thanks a lot for the info. The last thing I wanted was tp break something trying to simply replace a bulb.
