Default Brake Light Bulb Change

I know i've seen how to access brake light bulbs on the forum, but don't
recall the procedure for an 89. I seem to recall that you go through the License plate area, but my hands are too big.....any help would be appreciated
Thanks. :seeya

If your 89 is the same as my 88, the easiest way is through the license plate area. After you get the inner light removed, two #10 screws, you can reach through the inner hole to get to the outer lamp. Probably have to have someone with smaller hands help you out. I saw someone once said they reached up from below, I tried that but could'nt get my hand in there, tighter than the license plate area I thought. Good luck, not that hard really.
