How to replace reverse bulb?

Anyone found out how to get to the reverse lamps to change out bulbs?? Just got through with ground effects and there is no way to get to them from the bottom side of the car.

You've got to pull the bumper to get at them. I know, poor design choice. Beyond my capability, so I had the dealer do it.

It's just four screws on each side inside the wheel wells, the plastic covers over the tail lights then pull the sides out and the cover off, don't forget to unplug the wiring harness near the passenger tail lights. It's a little easier with two people.

This post is the write up I did when I changed out my reverse lights for AAC's LED ones.

Well, guess I should have done this before putting the ground effect on. This will make it a lot more difficult. Thanks for the write up Stieger.

The GM service manual calls for removal of the bumper cover. I havent looked at the car to see if there is an easier way.

There is no easier way. The ONLY way to get to the reverse lights is by removing the bumper.
