Default Burned out tail light replacement

I have a left outer bulb burned out. I've watched you tube for the removal process--- Lic plate, backup lites, inner lens, outer lens.

Is this the only way to do it? I can see the socket from underneath, out side of the exhaust extensions... maybe reach it.

Does anyone have a pic of the socket itself so I can see where to disconnect it?

About how long does it take to go the lic plate route?

About 15 minutes and that is if you are holding a beer.

Really, the license plate route is quick and painless and very straight forward. You actually spent more time typing your question than you would removing the plate, reaching around a swapping the bulb.

Questions are always good but I guess sometimes it's best to just get into it and learn!!
Thanks Bill

LOL, I tried going through the license plate, what a waste of time. My forearm wouldn't fit. Then I went from underneath the car. Removed a single bumper cover bolt and reach up and turned the bulb out and replaced. Two beers, one hand, 3 minutes
