If you are just changing bulbs it's a lot easier to pull the tail lights and reach them from the top. Tail lights pop off after removing 3x10mm bolts on each light. Are you changing to a silver bulb or leds maybe?

its complicated actually, I removed mine...

there are 2 flaps on the bottom, they face up, between the bumper and the muffler, gotta take those 2 screws out.

then there are 2 or 3 in the tirewell, and bottom corners.

next you have to remove the tail lights, this exposes another bolt or 2 that has to come out, and these PITA white things that have to be twisted, but even with almost any tool I could want, I could not turn them, and since I was replacing the bumper, I actually had to tear the bumper to get the leverage I needed. I couldnt retwist these when I reinstalled the new bumper, luckily I did not really see any purpose to these.

then you just have a series of clips that you have to be careful with, as well as unplugging the trunk pop and combo lights before you can pull the bumper away.

all in all a pretty difficult job, and I had the shop manual, thats the only way to know where all the bolts are.

VandyZ says: You can get to the rear turn signals by removing the rear tail lights. There are 3 bolts and 2-3 snap in's. Once removed you can reach the rear turn signal bulbs.

yeah you can definitly do it, wont be easy, but definitly less invasive than removing the bumper.

taking off the tail lights is childs play, 3 easy to access 10mm bolts, and 2 clips, just pull out towards the side of the car to disengage the clips.
