Remove license plate and back up lights. Reach in and remove inner light. It is either 2 - 7mm or 10mm bolts, i cant remember the size. After removing the inner lights you can reach through the hole to the outer lights. All this to change a bulb. Nothing is easy on these cars. You can also do this through the gas door, either way it is a PIA. Good luck , Guy

Ahh brilliant GM design. Thankfully I went to the LT-1 bumper. Two screws on the outside,and five minutes later the job's done. What was GM thinking when doing the L98? :rolleyes:
