Default reverse light pushed in

So some @$$hole did a hit&run on my Z. The damage to the bumper itself is pretty minor, just some scratches and spiderwebbing of the paint. The right reverse light is pushed in little though. Enough that I can see a bit of the bumper support under below the reverse light.

I've never take off the rear bumper before so I'm not sure how the reverse light is mounted to the car. Is it a fairly easy fix? Just straightening a bracket or something?

I'm probably not gonna bother filing a claim since my deductible is $1k..

Some people really need to learn how to drive.

Remove your taillight, stick your arm down the opening and see if you can push the light back in place. If not then your whole rear bumper has to come off to reach the screws that hold the housing.

^^^ That.

If you can't, it's not difficult to remove the entire rear bumper.. Here's the DIY: https://my350z.com/forum/body-interi...-pictures.html

Is it just like a bracket holding the light?

You'll need to remove the bumper to get to that light IIRC
