With diffuser off can you access the reverse lights to change a bulb?

Thanks!!

Dealer wants $250 to install. I just don't know how the hell this thing goes on. If that's all it takes then sheet, I'm doing it myself.

the hardest part was taking the stock one off... just follow this thread and use WD 40 and your set!

This was a great DIY; thank you! Took a little more tugging than I thought but nothing broke! (Always a good thing LOL)

Curious about this also, though I doubt it.

I wish all the write ups were this detailed. Great job! The WD40 def helps a lot.

Spray it on all across the top of the diffuser (try and avoid over spray on the bumper, be sure to wipe excess off the bumper/stock diffuser) let it sit for about 5 minutes.
Grab one side, and the top of the muffler hole with your other hand, and pull the hell out of it. It will eventually pop out. 3 taps popped out all at once. Then do the other side. Once the sides are out go to the middle tabs and spray more WD 40. Grab each side and pull down and toward you extremely hard. They should pop out. If it doesnt work, peel from one side to the other being careful you dont break the tabs.

I tried this with no luck. I ended up taking the bumper off to swap diffusers. Removing the bumper is actually pretty easy...
