Title says it all, how do you get at the rear bulbs to change them.

 

Open tailgate and there are two holes leading to screws on each tail light. Remove screws and then you will have access to the bulbs and all the sand that gets thrown up behind the tail lights by the back tires.

 

That was it, thanks a lot.

 

Thank you as well =) I just had to change mine. I couldnt believe all the sand in there! I thought something was odd before, because everytime I would wash it, I would see sand running out onto the bumber. Just figured previous owner offroaded. Nice to know.

 

While you're in there, snare some duct tape or similar and tape up those holes. Obviously, the possibility of more getting in there is still there but, the odds of it happening are lessened... I had mine taped up on my 01' and it worked PERFECTLY.

Also, it'll still have an area to 'breathe' thus not trapping water and stuff in there which would definitely corrode.
