Reolacing rear bulbs on an 85 Coupe

Asking for suggestions on to do this. Can they be accessed by removing the reverse lights?

Here is a link to a 14 year old thread that explains the procedure and likelihood of some personal injury. Good luck!

You can access through the license plate area or pull the lights out

I think it's easier to get them from under the rear bumper. Just unfasten the bottom of the bumper cover and reach up.

Got the bulb replaced today. I loosened the bumper cover & eventually reached up & replaced the bulb. Thank goodness I was able to lift the car.
