On my Z06 I pulled the carpet back from the trunk area and was able to access it to change the bulb.

Take out the outboard rear taillight housing, reach in and remove the side market light socket from the fender housing and replace the bulb. Easy as that.

Pull back carpet pieces from the rear and side of the trunk area. Remove the little vent thing and reach in and replace the bulb.

Sorry for horrible photo, but it wouldn't focus and I don't care to do it twice

Forgot about that vent on the left. Right side has none though.

Guess I lucked out since the driver side went out on me. Sounds like the taillight trick would be needed on the other side.
