If you can't get it out by hand, try using a small wrench or some pliers.

For the license plate lights u need to pop off the two little plastic pannels in your trunk and get to them from there. Get a flathead screwdrive to help pop them out.

For the reverse lights, there is a small pannel that comes off that is located in your trunk behind the tail lights. Find the the section where the reverse bulb is and twist counter clockwise and pull out.

no need to unscrew anything for the license plate lights!

pop this piece using a flathead...

turn this piece to the left...

take out your bulb...!


IDK about the reverse light? But when i changed out my licanse plate lights to Super Bright White from SuperbrightLEDs.com, they were very dim and looked too blue! I then switched back to stock where there are better!

Oh yea, my hands were a little sweaty, so i pulled out my bulb with some sand paper to grip it!
