I believe you need to take off the rear bumper. What are you trying to do??

On mine the most difficult part was the limited access for movement up there. And on top of that, the clip is on top of the plug, not the bottom (on mine anyway). So I eventually wrapped a piece of coat hanger around one of my fingers and used that to lift the plug clip because it's about impossible to rotate your forearm to reach it.

He wants to take out the whole light. Unless he has VERY thin hands and small tools, no way can he get the light out that way. He will have to remove the rear bumper.

I pulled the plate light off and then the wire for the light but it is not screwed on it has the pop out pins and the glue like you twirp I think the connecter is also glued through the plastic that the light sits in so I am not sure even if I were to wire the adhesive it will come out it may be harder than I was thinking so I have to change the whole plan around thanks for all the imput on this. Question! Twirp when you pulled the light out did you keep the old one and if so could you snap a pic of the back I would like to know if I can unsolder the leds and replace them with a differant kind.
