Re: changing a tail light (AGENT 86)
if its a inner light, just reach through the license plate hole.
if its an outer light... hope you have skinny arms.
i tried reaching up from the bottom.. thats near impossible i think.
and having a small socket and ratchet are best.. (don't know how else you'd go about doing it.)

Re: changing a tail light (Cory00)
Cory, I think you can also go in from the top, by removing the shroud from around the gas tank filler neck. The only other way other than all those mentioned above is to remove the whole bumper, but however you do it, it aint gonna be fun. A word of advice....replace the burned out bulb(s) with long life bulbs. A little more costly, but worth it in the long run. :thumbs:
