Default Replace Taillights--87Vert

OK--I give up. Have an outboard bulb burnt out on 87 vert and dont see anyway of getting to it to replace the bulb. Red lenses dont have screws as the FSM suggests. Cant reach back of socket from either license plate or gas cap openings......what's next? Drop spare tire or lower tail pipes/muffler??????????

First time I looked ( wayyyy back in 1987) I thought you had to take the rear bumper off !
